Book History in Australia Since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1
Book History in Australia since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1, Oxford History of the Novel in English: The Novel in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1950. Edited by Coral Howells, Paul Sharrad and Gerry Turcotte. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. Publication of Australian novels and discussion of this phenomenon have long been sites for the expression of wider tensions between national identity and overseas influence characteristic of postcolonial societies. Australian novel publishing since 1950 can be roughly divided into three periods, characterized by the specific, and changing, relationship between national and non-national influences. In the first, the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels, and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas. Yet a local industry also emerged, driven by often contradictory impulses of national sentiment, and demand for American-style pulp fiction. In the second period, the 1970s and 1980s, cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes supported the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and—along with the increasing globalization of publishing—enabled the entry of large, multinational enterprises into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the final period, since the 1990s. Nevertheless, these decades have also witnessed the ongoing development and consolidation of local publishing of Australian novels— including in new forms of e-publishing and self-publishing—as well as continued government and social support for this activity, and for Australian literature more broadly. -

As a result she had a singular early childhood, growing up as 'a forest creature', familiar with the New Zealand bush rather than with the products of civilisation or with children of her own age. -
Mary Ann Bugg – “Captain Thunderbolt's Lady.”
Mary Ann Bugg – “Captain Thunderbolt’s Lady.” Adapted with permission by Barry Sinclair, from an article written in1998 by Andrew Stackpool There were two “female bushrangers” in Australia, Mary Ann, wife, & chief lieutenant of Fred Ward and “Black Mary”, companion of Michael Howe, notorious bushranger in Tasmania in the early 1800’s. While much is made of and written about the partners of the other bushrangers, little is recorded on the life of our female bushrangers. In the case of Mary Ann, she is responsible for Fred Ward being at large for so long. Her distinct femininity and her Aboriginal heritage were probably the reason for Fred’s dislike of using firearms. She certainly taught him to read and write, and her skills developed, as part of her aboriginality, served them both well in their life in the bush. The blending of Aboriginal and European features in Mary Ann created a remarkable beauty, which was commented on many times during her career. Mary Ann Bugg was born near Gloucester/Stroud in New South Wales. Her father was a shepherd named James Brigg (who subsequently changed his name to Bugg). He was born in Essex in England in 1801 and on 18 July 1825 was transported for life for stealing meat. He arrived in Sydney on the ship “SESOSTRIS” on 26 March 1826 and on 15 January 1828 was assigned to the Australian Agricultural Company as Overseer of Shepherds. He was successful in his duties and in 1834 was granted a Ticket of Leave. This meant he was technically a free man who could own property but could not leave the Colony. -

Captain Thunderbolt
Defiant Scoundrel or Gentleman Bushranger? Researched & Written by Arnold Goode, Uralla. The Thunderbolt legend lives on most strongly in the New England district of northern New South Wales and especially around Uralla. Of all the bushrangers who engaged in their illegal and often colourful careers in Australia during the first 100 years of white settlement, Thunderbolt, hero or horse thief, was at large for probably the longest period. For almost six years and six month he was pursued by regular mounted Police, especially commissioned bounty hunters and enlisted Aboriginal trackers. Bushrangers were regarded as heroes by the battling small landholders who also recognised their common enemy as the Government and the Law. They considered Thunderbolt to be a victim of circumstance and they sympathised and identified with him. The Police force was over governed by Parliament, was grossly underpaid, under trained, overworked and supplied with horses of dubious breeding. Fred Ward finally met his match on the afternoon of 25th May 1870. He "bailed-up" firstly John and Liza Blanch near their Inn, then James Coghlan and an Italian hawker, Giovani Cappusotto. Resenting this action, Cappusotto alerted the Uralla police Officers Mulhall and Walker. The Police exchanged shots with Thunderbolt and Constable Walker gave chase. Thunderbolt was finally cornered in a waterhole in Kentucky Creek some 4 kilometers distant. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Fred Ward at Blanch's Inn and he was buried in the Uralla cemetery. Thunderbolt began his life as Frederick Ward at Wilberforce near Windsor, N.S.W., in either 1835 or another reference states 16th May 1836. -
