From the Origins of Gallipoli to an Orange Head: Incidents in the Friendship between Sidney Nolan and George Johnston
This article presents results of research using the diaries of Sidney Nolan, recently made available by the National Library of Australia. In particular, it focuses on two matters relating to Nolan’s lengthy friendship with Australian journalist and novelist George Johnston: clarifying the origin of Nolan’s Gallipoli series, which is strongly associated with a period in 1955 and 1956 that Nolan spent with Johnston on the Greek island of Hydra; an…
The Colonial Romance Novel to 1950
This chapter discusses the colonial romance novel. For an author such as Scottish-born Hume Nisbet, who was living in London during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, desperately trying to ward off crushing poverty, writing romance fiction was one means to generate a modest income. Having toured Australia and the Pacific in 1886, Nisbet tapped into what was a growing literary market: the colonial romance novel. The colonies not on…
Taking the flowery bed back to Australia: The Repatriation of Charmian Clift and George Johnston
Since coming to national attention in the immediate post-World War II years Charmian Clift and George Johnston have remained an enigmatic and almost â mythicalâ Australian literary couple. At the heart of their shared biographies is the near-decade they spent on the Aegean island of Hydra between 1955 and 1964 where they were at the centre of an international community of writers and artists, and their eventual repatriation to Australia when thei…

Why then grieve?’: Virginia Woolf's Mournful Music
One striking feature of Virginia Woolf’s novels is their noisiness: the London traffic roars, bells chime, birds sing, dogs bark, the scrapmetal merchant shouts out as he rambles through the streets and barrel-organs sound. 1 Even in the most silent of Woolf’s texts, The Waves (1931), in which characters do not ‘speak’, it is the ear that is expressly petitioned. Woolf writes: ‘Listen; the cars rush past this restaurant; now and then, down the ri…
Afterword: The Story of a Bookmark
literary study (in its broadest sense) draws attention to the importance of words and of narrative, an awareness of their capacity to persuade, to argue, to take on differing styles and modes of representation to produce and privilege particular meanings. It is not a task as romantic, perhaps, as saving the world from itself. But such a relatively modest aim for the study of literature is linked inextricably with other activities that I see as ce…
Gunpowder and gardens: Reading women in The Proposition
The John Hillcoat-directed, Nick Cave-penned film, The Proposition (2005), is most instantly recognizable as one recent reinterpretation of ‘the western’ cinematic genre, which makes the focus of this article on its representation of the garden and female corporeality unlikely. Yet, The Proposition is not a stock transferral of ‘the western’ to contemporary imaginings of late nineteenth-century colonial Queensland, and an attentiveness to the per…
Compulsory screening: Border protection, migration and the Australian screen
The articles in this issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema represent the response of various Australian film scholars to questions that arose in the wake of the so-called Tampa crisis of August 2001, when Australian naval vessels took possession of 433 asylum seekers on a Norwegian cargo freighter, and a new policy was put into effect. Some of the articles tackle a number of the “aesthetic interventions” in the ethico-political debates relating…

As Unconscious and Gay as a Trout in a Stream: Turning the Trope of the Australian Girl
The instability of colonial representational economies, identities and tropes is the subject of analysis in this paper. I take as my starting point the anxieties that were generated during the late 19th century in relation to what I nominate the fictitiousness of settler subjects in colonial Australia. In order to examine these historical concerns and their explicitly gendered representations, I consider in detail one text, Rosa Campbell Praed's …
