Undoubtedly there has been a change not only in the writers but in public taste.

  • Douglas Stewart: Terra Australis
    DOUGLAS STEWART: TERRA AUSTRALIS This is one of Douglas Stewart's "exploration" poems. Or we can call it one of his "voyager" poems. It depicts an imaginary meeting between the Portuguese navigator Quiros and the Aust- ralian socialist William Lane. They meet in the Pacific Ocean, because Quiros is sailing westward in search of the fabled South Land (the Terra Australis of the poem's title), while Lane is sail- ing eastward to found the colony of New Australia in Paraguay. This much we learn from the poem's two introductory stanzas. The rest of its first section is devoted to an imaginary soliloquy in which the spirit of long-dead Quiros speaks of the almost in- superable difficulties that he encountered in his search: human faithlessness, deceptive islands, fever, thirst, mutiny, and hostile intrigue at home in Spain. He never did, in fact, discover the great continent for which he searched. But the poet represents him as trudging on, in the attempt to fulfil his purpose, till the end of time. The second section begins with the meeting and initial exchanges between the two voyagers. It is clear that Quiros conceives the great southern continent as a future Utopia, a land that shall be ruled in the spirit of political and moral idealism: "No more by oppression chained, by sin besmirched." But this was more than three centuries earlier than the time of William Lane. Lane is familiar with Australia as a nineteenth-century reality, and he thus readily disillusions Quiros about his great southern continent. For Lane too is an idealist, and he is fleeing from Australia in order to establish his own Utopia in South America.

  • JOHN SHAW NEILSON and TIW FLORAL Mefaphor
    Noel Macalnsh JOHN SHAW NEILSON AND TIW FLORAL MEfAPHOR The femme fatale was a fascinating figure of art in Victorian times. Mario Praz, in his well-known book, The Romantic Agony, has described her manifestations in several European literatures, including English. In Australia too, "Ia belle dame sans merci," the beautiful woman, imperious, fascinating and cruel, appears in various forms in the poetry of Christopher Brennan, Kenneth Slessor, A.D. Hope and others. Norman Lindsay has painted her image. The femme fatale is a striking creation, threatening pain, castration, delusion and death, but also suggesting the possibility of ecstatic union. She is of both heaven and hell, is sought among the stars and in the underworld, is Lilith, Persephone, Circe, a Siren or heartless cocette; she promises immor- tality or obsession and ruin. Nevertheless, the femme fatale is not the only distinctive projec- tion of femininity to be found in Australian poetry. Inherently less striking, but complementary in its displacement from everyday reality is the figure of the fragile girl, the delicate child-woman, a tender and transient flower, a beautiful ideal doomed to wither before the crude demands of life. John Shaw Neilson is the supreme representative of this figure in Australian poetry. In Neilson, the femme fragile, as she will be called here, rather than the femme enfant, is typically presented as a girl, who "innocent/in the whistling Spring," will not survive into Summer. She is "the tenderest of pale girls." 1 She grows ill and must die. The theme was popular in Neilson's time. Edgar Allen Poe wrote that "The death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world." 2 If, for "beautiful woman," we substitute "young girl" or occasionally "young boy," this statement becomes quite applicable to Neilson also.

Most of their staff are engaged in direct service to the present university community or in acquiring and making the basic finding records for books, periodicals, tapes and other information sources. Compiling a catalogue of manuscripts is a different type of operation which university libraries can all too seldom afford. It is a painstaking, detailed, time-consuming operation for which a busy library and busy librarians find difficulty in finding time and protecting that time from the insistent demand of the customer standing impatiently at the service counter. Yet a collection of manuscripts languishes unusable and unknown if its contents have not been listed and published.

  • The Poetry of John Shaw Neilson
    'CITY OF SIGHS': THE POETRY OF JOHN SHAW NEILSON LAUR.IE CLANCY read through the body ofNeilson's poetry-and to read the autobiography and correspondence on top of that - and then to tum to criticism of it is, in my own case at any rate, enormously irritating. The problem begins as early as H. M. lloGreen in his pioneering History of Australian Literature. In the ten pages that he devotes to Neilson's work in the first volume of that book (two less than Hugh McCrae receives), he says, among other things, 'Neilson is in fact a mystic, perhaps the most notable of all Australia's mystic poets: that he is not a mystic merely, that he did not call himself a mystic, and that he may very likely have known nothing about mysticism is nothing to the point' (483). Neilson, as it were, has mysticism thrust upon him. He goes on, 'The range ofNeilson 's verse is narrow. He wrote three kinds ofpoem', we are told (486), the purely lyrical, the ballad-like, and the satirical. Green strongly implies that it was necessary for A. G. Stephens to help knock the poems into shape and he goes on to say, 'and, since on the one hand he lacks the balladists' matter, and on the other hand his contemplation is mainly emotional, for as a rule he does not so much think as perceive and feel, his verses are apt quickly to run thin ...he cannot develop a theme or a thought or an emotion' (488). Green was writing many years ago, of course, but it is interesting that in the revised edition of his book his widow, the late Dorothy Green, sees it unnecessary to add very much to this judgment: ' Witnesses o[Sp ring, consisting ofpreviously unpublished poems of Neilson's, does not add much to one's assessment of his achievement, though it contains several interesting poems' (491).

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Notes on Contributors Abstract NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS This journal article is available in Kunapipi: https://ro.uow.edu.au/kunapipi/vol8/iss3/22 Antipodes is a challenging work, in a very precise sense. It challenges readers to recognize and respond to a hidden, or at least submerged level of textual meaning-produc- tion. In the Australian cultural context such a challenge is rather more than a formal gesture, not only because many Australian readers familiar with the Australian settings of most of the stories tend to assume the adequacy of nostalgic 'recognition effects'. (A Canadian post-graduate student suggested, interestingly, that non-Australians read Malouf in a more consistently 'fabular' mode than Australians.) But equally importantly, the book challenges a central tenet of mainstream Australian literary criticism and review since the 1930s or earlier, namely its prejudice against tropologica! forms of literary analysis or, more simply, its bias towards the under-reading of literary texts. In its unassuming way Antipodes, classic or not, may help to force that protracted moment to its crisis, quietly urging Australian readers, specialist and non-specialist alike, towards quite unaccustomed reading practices: practices which acknowledge the layering of literary meanings in texts and can take account not only of the sense made of social experience, but of the sense-making process as well.

  • Chapter 1 Douglas Stewart
    CHAPTER 1 DOUGLAS STEWART: THE EARLY YEARS 1925-1938 Throughout the many scholarly works that focus on Stewart’s place in Australian literature, the word that recurs in respect of Douglas Stewart’s creative work is ‘versatile’. One of its first appearances is in Nancy Keesing’s Douglas Stewart, which begins with the precise statement: ‘Douglas Stewart is the most versatile writer in Australia today ⎯ perhaps the most versatile who ever lived in this country. He is a poet whose poetry and nature as a poet are central to everything in which he excels’.93 Stewart was not only a poet whose early philosophy that the closer one moves towards nature the closer one moves towards the spirit of the earth, developed as a line of continuity which contributed to his total philosophy; this chapter focuses on Stewart’s life and poetic ambition in New Zealand until his move to Australia as an expatriate in 1938. As a mature poet he was then concerned to apply this pantheism to modern responses regarding humans and their experiences. The purpose of the introductory part of this chapter is to clarify the theme of the dissertation ⎯ Douglas Stewart’s creative impulse; the second part involves a discussion of the poet’s visit to England where he met poets Powys and Blunden. At this time he also journeyed to his ancestral home in Scotland. Upon his return to Australia in 1938 he was offered a position with Cecil Mann at the Bulletin. Stewart was also a distinguished verse dramatist, a successful editor, particularly of the Red Page of the Bulletin from 1940 to 1960,94 and a participant of some repute in journalism and publishing.

  • Exploring the Urban Sacred in Three Australian Poems
    religions Article ‘The Way of Our Streets’: Exploring the Urban Sacred in Three Australian Poems Lachlan Brown School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga 2678, Australia; [email protected] Academic Editor: Kevin Hart Received: 9 September 2016; Accepted: 13 November 2016; Published: 25 November 2016 Abstract: This article examines three contemporary Australian poems that concern themselves with matters of the sacred within the modern Australian city. Noting that Australian poetry and the sacred have often been studied in terms of the landscape, the article approaches these poems as part of an undercurrent of spiritual or sacred writing that takes up urban Australian spaces as important and resonant sites. Through readings of Kevin Hart’s ‘Night Music’ (2008), Jill Jones’s ‘Where We Live’ (2007) and Benjamin Frater’s ‘Ourizen’ (2011), the article demonstrates the various ways that contemporary Australian spirituality is poetically expressed in cities such as Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney. Keywords: Australian literature; poetry; sacred; religion; cities; suburbia 1. Introduction Since the project of colonisation began, and even before this time, Australian poetic interest in the sacred has often been aligned with the particularities of the country’s geography and natural terrain. ‘Beyond all arguments there is the land itself’, Philip Hodgins wrote in a 1995 poem ([1], p. 46), describing the kind of existential weight afforded to the physical ground, with its a priori and obdurate ‘there-ness’. This sense of the land is apparent in many of the iconic Australian poems that deal in what might be called ‘sacred’ meaning. One thinks of the post-colonial disquiet of Judith Wright’s ‘At Cooloolah’ [2], the mystical agrarian eroticism of David Campbell’s ‘Night Sowing’ [3], or Les Murray’s reverential treatment of Bunyah (an inland district around 300 km north of Sydney) across almost his entire oeuvre [4].
