Hadley and M. Delmer Languages Represented: English, French, Latin Extent: 2 boxes Repository: University of Sydney Library, Rare Books and Special Collections Abstract: Christopher Brennan (1870-1932) was an Australian poet and scholar. He was a graduate of the University of Sydney (philosophy and classics) and studied at the University of Berlin from 1892-94. After discovering the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé he returned to Australia to devote the next ten years of his life to poetry, in which he explored the theme of the search for Eden. He worked at the Public Library of New South Wales from 1895 to 1907. He was appointed lecturer in French and German at the University of Sydney in 1909. From 1920 to 1925 he was associate professor in German and Comparative Literature. The Christopher Brennan Collection contains correspondence, part of a proof copy of Brennan's poems (1913), lecture notes, books, newspaper cuttings and etchings.

  • Ii: Mary Alice Evatt, Modern Art and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales
    Cultivating the Arts Page 394 CHAPTER 9 - WAGING WAR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT? II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.

The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths.

But these, these fellowing men, shall know Love's Memory though they go. They are not dead; not even broken; Only their dust has gone back home to the earth: For they—the essential they—shall have re-birth Whenever a word of them is spoken. Mary Gilmore 'Oh, "Fellowing Woman'" Fred Broomfield hailed Mary Gilmore in a letter to her in 1919." 'Australia needs such a "fellowing" woman as yourself, Florence Fourdrinier gushed a year or so later/ Both of these were responses to Mary Gilmore's poem, 'These Fellowing Men'. 'Fellowship' was a word long favoured by Gilmore. She wrote in 1912, about "The Invisible Fellowship" of human love', and also used the word personally to express a certain level of creative camaraderie such as the 'quiet fellowship' she shared with George Robertson when reading the proofs of her first Angus and Robertson Mary Gilmore.

  • History of the Fellowship
    HISTORY OF THE FELLOWSHIP The FAW was formed in 1928 in Sydney. It came together in response to the neglectful way in which the Australian arts community, including writers, were treated at the time. Although there is some dispute as to who exactly was its founder, in his book Dream at a Graveside Len Fox names the founders as Mary Gilmore, Roderic Quinn and Lucy Cassidy. He also includes names such as Steele Rudd, R J Cassidy, John Le Gay Brereton, Fred Broomfield, H M Green S A Rosa, Walter Jago, Arthur Crocker and Marjorie Quinn as important members of the emerging organisation. The original Fellowship was quite a political body. It had links with the labor movement and other organisations striving for internationalism and world peace. The first meeting was minuted as being 23 November 1928. John Le Gay Brereton was elected President with Mary Gilmore and Arthur Hoey Davis (Steele Rudd) Vice Presidents and Marjorie Quinn, Honorary Secretary. One of its first motions was a fair payment for written work. This fight would go on for another fifty years. However at that time, in the middle of the Depression when work was scarce and money hard to come by, it must have provided quite a challenge. Another feature of this time was the start of a lifelong dedication to writing competitions that continues to this day. At the end of 1932 there were 290 members including Miles Franklin, Dorothea MacKellar and Frank Clune. However things in the thirties were difficult with the FAW dwindling in influence and numbers.
