  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This is a list of works quoted frequently in the dictionary and of those which it might be difficult to find from the short reference given in citations. Pseudonymous works have usually been entered under the pseudonym, with the author’s actual name added within brackets. Cross references have been included if warranted. Definite and indefinite articles preceding tides of journals and newspapers have been omitted. Annual volumes of legislation, sessional publications of parliaments, and government gazettes have not been listed in the Bibliography. Where parliamentary publications are used as the source of citations, they have been referred to by abbreviations, the key to which will be found in the List of Abbreviations (p. XIV). Where legislation is the source of citations, references have been made in the following style: (Year of enactment) Acts (state or country) (Regnal year, where applicable) (Number) (Section) For example: 1896 Acts (N.S.W.) 59 Vic. no. 26 section 15. Page numbers for such references have not been included. Works held by the Australian War Memorial Library (many of which are ephemera and unlikely to be found elsewhere) are marked with an asterisk.

  • 1945 Canine 1: Bureaucracy 0 the Life and Death and After-Lives of Horrie
    1945 Canine 1: Bureaucracy 0 The life and death and after-lives of Horrie the Wog-Dog Ion “Jack” Idriess (1889-1979) was a phenomenon of Australian literature. Publishing his first book in 1927 at the age of 38, he issued over 50 titles by the time he retired from writing in 1969. This prolific output included elements of travel writing, biography, history, politics and sociology, but his real métier was the adventure story or yarn. A great traveller and adventurer, Idriess called upon his experience as a soldier, drover, shearer, rabbiter and miner to tell classic Australian stories with a clarity that enthralled several generations of readers. In doing so he ensured that a number of memorable Australian lives are largely remembered as he told them. These include Harold Lasseter in Lasseter’s Last Ride (1931); John Flynn in Flynn of the Inland (1932); Sidney Kidman in The Cattle King (1936), and indigenous “outlaw” Nemarluk in Nemarluk, King of the Wilds (1941). With only a few exceptions all of Idriess’ books were published by Angus & Robertson (A&R). It was one of the great Australian author-publisher associations, providing both parties with considerable financial reward, as many of Idriess’ titles sold in great numbers and were constantly reprinted. It was also Idriess’ association with A&R that led to his telling the story of another remarkable Australian life, that of Horrie the Wog-Dog. Horrie’s story first entered the literary sphere in 1943 when A&R received a raw but interesting manuscript containing elements beloved by Australian readers—animals, war, mateship, and a healthy disrespect for authority.
