Eric Irvin and the University of Queens- land Press have produced a handsome, well-illustrated biography of George Darrell, with useful references and an index. The Sunny South is apparently the only extant script by Darrell, and has an interest beyond its status as a competent and typical nineteenth century melodrama. Darrell came to Melbourne in 1865 at the age of twenty- three. He was then George Frederick Price, the son of an inn- keeper of Bath, already in love with everything about the theatre.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mid-Century Responses to Modernism
    Chapter 4.'A Tradition of Conservatism': Mid-Century Responses to Modernism While a number of early to mid-century Australian poets can be shown to have engaged in some of the central debates of modernism, few can be said to have advocated the kind of radical stylistic experimentation and innovation characteristic of European and American modernism. This lack of radical stylistic innovation and experimentation has been noted by numerous critics, and tends to support Tranter's view that Australian poetry before the New Poetry period had been dominated by a 'tradition of conservatism.'1 Martin Harrison has described the work of Australian poets before the New Poetry, noting in their poetry: The certainty of persona-voice, the clarity of ostensive reference, the sup• pression of metaphor and image-reference in the central thought, [and] the resolution of that thought in conclusiveness... ? Alexander Craig, in his introduction to the Twelve Poets anthology in 1971, also pointed to a 'general conservatism or lack of experiment in Australian poetry' which he saw as being 'accompanied by a discursive, over-explanatory dullness in many poems. '3 Harrison's and Craig's views are supported by other critics. According to Julian Croft, neither Slessor, nor Wilmot - the two poets most often associated with modernist innovations - responded to the new stylistic directions for poetry in the twenties.4 While suggesting that Bertram Higgins' poem, '"Mordecaius" Overture' (1933) as Australia's first 'modernist' poem,5 Croft argues that it was not until the late thirties and early forties, with Slessor's 'Five Bells' and R D FitzGerald's poems 'The Hidden Bole,' 'Essay on Memory' and 'The Face on the Waters' that Tranter, The Xew Australian Poetry: xvii.

Dr. Robert Charles Alexander Lindsay and Jane Elizabeth Williams were married in 1868 in Creswick, Victoria, where they settled to rear and educate their family.
