Book History in Australia Since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1
Book History in Australia since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1, Oxford History of the Novel in English: The Novel in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1950. Edited by Coral Howells, Paul Sharrad and Gerry Turcotte. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. Publication of Australian novels and discussion of this phenomenon have long been sites for the expression of wider tensions between national identity and overseas influence characteristic of postcolonial societies. Australian novel publishing since 1950 can be roughly divided into three periods, characterized by the specific, and changing, relationship between national and non-national influences. In the first, the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels, and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas. Yet a local industry also emerged, driven by often contradictory impulses of national sentiment, and demand for American-style pulp fiction. In the second period, the 1970s and 1980s, cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes supported the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and—along with the increasing globalization of publishing—enabled the entry of large, multinational enterprises into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the final period, since the 1990s. Nevertheless, these decades have also witnessed the ongoing development and consolidation of local publishing of Australian novels— including in new forms of e-publishing and self-publishing—as well as continued government and social support for this activity, and for Australian literature more broadly. -

The Haunted Landscapes of James Mcauley
Writing from the Periphery: the haunted landscapes of James McAuley JEAN PAGE University of Lisbon In a comparative approach, this paper addresses the influence of important precursors on James McAuley’s early poetry, its forms, themes and motifs, notably in the early work, what might be described as ‘landscape’ poems, and especially how translation functioned in his apprenticeship. The second part of the paper examines McAuley’s successful return to the lyric landscape in the last decade of his life, and his apparent journey through a new phase of influences, dedications and appropriations. The term ‘landscape’ I do not use as a technical term, but rather as a word which best fits the poems I wish to describe which have, generally, a pictorial quality of images organised in a recognisable setting, a scene perhaps, often taken from nature and often adjacent to a more human-built environment, often featuring human figures or at least the gaze of a human onlooker, as well as that of the ‘reader’ onlooker. While Chris Wallace–Crabbe and David Bradley have commented on McAuley’s early landscape poems, including the concept of interior landscape, and there has been considerable comment on his later landscape poems influenced by Georg Trakl (notably by Gary Catalano, Carmel Gaffney, Peter Kirkpatrick, Igor Maver and Vivian Smith), this paper draws a link between the early and the later landscape poems. In addition, it further develops the recognition by Lyn McCredden and Noel Macainsh of the importance of translation in McAuley’s work. The Early Landscape Poems Between 1936 and 1938, the young aspiring poet James McAuley, then writing under the initials ‘JMc’, wrote what has become one of his most anthologised poems, ‘Envoi’, a poem of four quatrains of alternating rhyme (Collected Poems, 6). -

Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead. -
An Introduction to the Life and Work of Amy Witting
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship... 'GOLD OUT OF STRAW': AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LIFE AND WORK OF AMY WITTING Yvo nne Miels - Flin ders University It is rather unusual for anyone to be in their early seventies before being recognised as a writer of merit. In this respect Amy Wining must surely be unique amongst Australian writers. Although she has been writing all her life, she was 71 when her powerful novel I for Isabel was published, in late 1989. This novel attracted considerable critical attention, and since then most of the backlog of stories and poetry written over a lifetime have been published. The 1993 Patrick White Award followed and she became known to a wider readership. The quality and sophistication of her work, first observed over fifty years ago, has now been generally acknowledged. Whilst Witting has been known to members of the literary community in New South Wales for many years, her life and work have generally been something of a literary mystery. Like her fictional character Fitzallan, the ·undiscovered poet' in her first novel Th e Visit ( 1977). her early publications were few, and scattered in Australian literary journals and short-story collections such as Coast to Coast. While Fitzallan's poetry was 'discovered' forty years after his death, Witting's poetry has been discovered and published, but curiously, it is absent from anthologies. For me, the 'mystery' of Amy Witting deepened when the cataloguing in-publication details in a rare hard-back copy of Th e Visit revealed the author as being one Joan Levick. -
The Devil Andjames Mcauley
The Devil and james McAuley: The Making of a Cold War Warrior CASSANDRA PYBUS, WRITER AND HISTORIAN, TASMANIA saw Jim McAuley only once - it could have been in 1971 - at a Peace with Freedom function at Sydney University. Or was it the Association for Cultural Freedom? Leonie Kramer was there. I was a member of SDS (Students for a DemocraticI Society), and had come with my boyfriend to see what Peace With Freedom were up to. I recall thinking that McAuley, who represented everything despicable to us, was a surpringly small man. His deeply etched face suggested he had taken quite a bit of punishment in his time, while his voice, so clearly tutored into its cultured modulations, was almost feminine. He had a presence, there was no denying that, but with my predisposition to regard McAuley as the enemy - the boyfriend was also a modem poet - I was unable to detect the charisma about which I have since heard so much. When he was at university in the late thirties, McAuley cut a dazzling figure among his admiring university cohorts, as Michael Heyward makes clear in The Em Malley Affair. Everyone was in awe of him. He could dominate a room on entry. Wildly funny he was a master of the sardonic and given to outrageous puns and scarifying repartee. The shoddy world he perceived around him provided plenty of fuel for contempt, and he showed no fear or favour when it came to making someone look like a fool. To add to his lustre, McAuley was a brilliant and inventive pianist. -

Breathing in Art, Breathing out Poetry: Contemporary Australian Art and Artists As a Source of Inspiration for a Collection of Ekphrastic Poems
Breathing in art, breathing out poetry: Contemporary Australian art and artists as a source of inspiration for a collection of ekphrastic poems. Erin Shiel A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2016 Abstract: During the course of this Master of Arts (Research) program, I have written The Spirits of Birds, a collection of thirty-five ekphrastic poems relating to contemporary Australian art. The exegesis relating to this poetry collection is the result of my research and reflection on the process of writing these poems. At the outset, my writing responded to artworks viewed in galleries, in books and online. Following the initial writing period, I approached a number of artists and asked if I could interview them about their sources of inspiration and creative processes. Six artists agreed to be interviewed. The transcripts of these interviews were used in the writing of further poetry. The interviews also provided an insight into the creative processes of artists and how this might relate to the writing of poetry. The exegesis explores this process of writing. It also examines the nature of ekphrasis, how this has changed historically and the type of ekphrastic poetry I have written in the poetry collection. In analysing the poems and how they related to the artworks and artists, I found there were four ways in which I was responding to the artworks: connecting to a symbolic device in the artwork, exploring the inspiration or creative process of the artist, drawing out a life experience or imagined narrative through the artwork and echoing the visual appearance of the artwork in the form of the poem. -
