  • Randolph the Reckless: Explorations in Australian Masculine Identity, 1889-1941
    Randolph the Reckless: Explorations in Australian Masculine Identity, 1889-1941 CHERYL TAYLOR,JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY M. Green remarked that Randolph Bedford was almost as represent­ ative of the Australia of his day as Lawson or Furphy or Paterson (706). It is certainly the case that from the publication of his earliest Bulletin story inH 1889 until his death in July 1941, Bedford was constantly before the eyes of the Australian reading public. 1 In this essay I argue the view that he principally of­ fered his contemporaries a paradigm for Australian masculinity. The paradigm operated in the areas of male with male and male with female relationships, as well as in the political and financial spheres. Green's sense of Bedford as a writer of the 1890s can be supported, since it was in this decade and during Federation that his influence was paramount and most original. He offered extreme or ex­ panded versions of masculine gender norms, sometimes resisting and at other times anticipating innovation. Aspects of the Bedford model persist in current concepts of Australian masculinity. The model was embattled from the beginning, and increasingly vulnerable. In the decades before World War I, Bedford exemplified an extreme masculine au­ tonomy, based on his exploits as a journalist and mining entrepreneur in the out­ back and in Europe. He projected this image in the club and pub world of male interchange, which was his natural habitat, and which defined itself in the period as Bohemian and atheistic, against the opposing parameters of suburban respon� sibility and female and clerical support for temperance.
