  • A Critical Biography of Henry Lawson
    'From Mudgee Hills to London Town': A Critical Biography of Henry Lawson On 23 April 1900, at his studio in New Zealand Chambers, Collins Street, Melbourne, John Longstaff began another commissioned portrait. Since his return from Europe in the mid-1890s, when he had found his native Victoria suffering a severe depression, such commissions had provided him with the mainstay to support his young family. While abroad he had studied in the same Parisian atelier as Toulouse­ Lautrec and a younger Australian, Charles Conder. He had acquired an interest in the new 'plein air' impressionism from another Australian, Charles Russell, and he had been hung regularly in the Salon and also in the British Academy. Yet the successful career and stimulating opportunities Longstaff could have assumed if he had remained in Europe eluded him on his return to his own country. At first he had moved out to Heidelberg, but the famous figures of the local 'plein air' school, like Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, had been drawn to Sydney during the depression. Longstaff now lived at respectable Brighton, and while he had painted some canvases that caught the texture and tonality of Australian life-most memorably his study of the bushfires in Gippsland in 1893-local dignitaries were his more usual subjects. This commission, though, was unusual. It had come from J. F. Archibald, editor of the not fully respectable Sydney weekly, the Bulletin, and it was to paint not another Lord Mayor or Chief Justice, First published as the introduction to Brian Kiernan, ed., The Essential Henry Lawson (Currey O'Neil, Kew, Vic., 1982).

Most of their staff are engaged in direct service to the present university community or in acquiring and making the basic finding records for books, periodicals, tapes and other information sources. Compiling a catalogue of manuscripts is a different type of operation which university libraries can all too seldom afford. It is a painstaking, detailed, time-consuming operation for which a busy library and busy librarians find difficulty in finding time and protecting that time from the insistent demand of the customer standing impatiently at the service counter. Yet a collection of manuscripts languishes unusable and unknown if its contents have not been listed and published.

  • 1 – Published Music by Date
    1 – Published music by date The dating of sheet music is notoriously difficult. The dates supplied here have been determined by a combination of: • Publication date on the item • Copyright date on the item • Additional information on the item e.g. an event or reference to earlier works • Address information on the publishers/printer • 3rd part information, e.g. review by a newspaper • Biographical information • Estimate based on style This listing is not intended to follow full descriptive bibliographic conventions. Thus where the date has any sort of collaboration (e.g. advertisement of publication or copyright registration) it is considered to be confirmed. Where no collaboration has been able to be found and an estimate is given, this is indicated by comment “estimated date” in the notes column. First editions only are included, except where a later edition involved a change of publisher.

  • Catalogue of Manuscripts
    UQFL2 CATALOGUE OF HAYES SINGLE ITEM MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION Catalogue of the Hayes Manuscript Collection Page 2 Subject index Page 200 Name index: Correspondents Page 216 Name index - Appendix Page 246 PREFACE The chief interest of this catalogue for scholars lies, I think, in the literary material - manuscripts and correspondence of A.G. Stephens, Mary Gilmore, Paul Grano, John Howlett Ross, F.W.S. Cumbrae- Stewart and many others - but there is much else of value. Father Hayes’ wide interests included anthropology, geology, Australian history, particularly Queensland local histories, wildlife and conservation. There is evidence of all these. He was above all a good parish priest, as well as a scholar and bibliophile, and as he seldom threw anything away, so far as one can judge, there is much Catholic Church history hidden away in his papers. He kept numerous letters from parishioners, nuns and fellow priests which reflect changing social patterns in Queensland. No attempt has been made to evaluate the importance of manuscripts listed in this catalogue. Much apparently trivial correspondence has been included. The only concession has been to exclude the personal papers and family and parish correspondence of Leo Hayes and Michael Potter, restricting entries in the published catalogue to broad general ones. The arrangement of the catalogue is alphabetical. There are two indexes: a name index, which is predominantly a list of correspondents, though certain names appear because they are editors or illustrators, or otherwise qualify for added entry according to normal cataloguing conventions. The second is a subject index. This includes places, institutions, names of periodicals and personal names where the person is the subject of a letter.

  • Towards a History of Transtasman Literary Relations
    The Neglected Middle Distance: Towards a History of Transtasman Literary Relations TERRY STURM Prefatory Note. The following article was originally delivered as a public lecture at the University of Auckland. In some intro• ductory remarks I spoke of contemporary economic and political developments in Transtasman relations as giving some urgency to the more specific literary and cultural questions raised in the lecture. I was also conscious — in thinking about the ways in which New Zealand and Australian literature might be related — of pressures from a very different quarter : the burgeoning academic industry in comparative Commonwealth literary studies. I remain obstinately sceptical about many of its tendencies, and the lecture was an implicit argument against at least one of them : the anti-historical tendency in comparative studies to treat authors and works, and the national traditions they belong to, as autonomous, self-contained totalities. What is attempted here is a mapping of the historical contours of Australian cultural influ• ence on, and presence in, New Zealand literature: a continuous, shifting history within which any comparative literary analysis needs, in my view, to be situated. JLHE TITLE OF THIS ESSAY is a phrase used by Allen Curnow in a longish review of twentieth-century Australian poetry which appeared in the second number of the New Zealand magazine Landfall in 1947.1 Its implication was that New Zealanders had concerned themselves too little with understanding a neighbour• ing culture which occupied the "middle distance" of their out• ward perspective — too much, perhaps, with the Anglo-European and American horizons beyond. Until very recently, awareness of each other's literature has been at an even lower ebb, perhaps, 30 TERRY STURM than when Allen Curnow wrote.

  • Theatre in Melbourne, 1914–18: the Best, the Brightest and the Latest
    6 ELISABETH KUMM Theatre in Melbourne, 1914–18: the best, the brightest and the latest Australian theatre was already undergoing momentous change when war broke out in 1914. Corporations were replacing actor–managers, theatre interests were contracting from multiple groups to just a few, and Australian audiences were increasingly open to American plays and players. The years immediately before the war saw the passing of two of the country’s leading entrepreneurs – music hall singer and founder of the Tivoli circuit Harry Rickards, and actor–manager JC Williamson, founder of JC Williamson Ltd – while other 19th-century show-business luminaries – George Coppin, George Rignold and Bland Holt – had died or retired.1 What did not change was the role of the audience as the arbiter of taste, which saw the public demanding the best, the brightest and the latest. JC Williamson and its competitors Known as JCW or ‘The Firm’, JC Williamson Ltd was the dominant force in Australian theatrical promotion, with controlling interests in theatres throughout Australia and New Zealand. The company was founded by American actor James Cassius Williamson, who first visited Australia under the auspices of George Coppin in 1874. He made his preliminary foray into Front cover of musical score for George R Hyam’s ‘Imshi’, which was first sung inStop Your Nonsense – an original Australian musical burlesque – at the King’s Theatre in December 1915.
