Editing ALS
Australian Literary Studies, launched by A.D. Hope in Hobart in August 1963, celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2013. This is an unusual span for a literary little magazine in Australia. Only five have lasted longer: Southerly (1939), Meanjin (1940), Overland (1954), Quadrant and Westerly (both, 1956). What makes the survival of ALS unusual is that unlike its literary forerunnersâ all journals of creative writing and criticismâ ALS was intend…
Starting a Journal
Laurie Hergenhan recalls the formation of Australian Literary Studies, launched at the University of Tasmania on 6 August 1963
Shafts into Our Fundamental Animalism’
Of all works by earlier women writers it is Barbara Baynton's collection of stories, Bush Studies, that has been the most successfully rescued from neglect by modern criticism. Discussion has concentrated on their content, their dissent from the male national ethos, on gender rather than genre. This is not the case with revaluations of her only novel, Human Toll. It has been variously reread in contexts beyond local bush realism, especially Lawso…
Texts and Contexts of the Availability and Editing of Australian Texts
Except for passing comment little has been written about the urgent need for reliable editions of Australian literary texts and about the problems this involves. The only substantial essay 1 know of is one by Harold Love in the Bulletin of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand (BSANZ) in which he surveyed the state of Australian texts as part of an 'official report'. The origin and purpose of this 'Report of the BSANZ Subcommit…
War in Post-1960s Fiction
Discusses a number of war novels which, rather than focussing on military conflicts, centre on the ways in which war has shaped Australian experience. Argues that while in a first stage of writing about the First World War the focus was on positive myth-making, on the growth of Anzac male myths of a national â coming-of-ageâ , these later novels highlight the often destabilising effects of war on specifially Australian experience
Ezra Pound, Frederic Manning and James Griffyth Fairfax
In the recent 'Ezra Pound in Melbourne' special issue of Helix (Melbourne, Nos 13/14, 1983) Jonathan Marwil's article on the friendship of Pound and Manning sheds new light on their association and makes one look forward to Marwil's biography of Manning. The purpose of this note is to comment on some aspects of Marwil's piece and to draw attention to further connections between Pound and Manning, and between Pound and Australia, through another e…
Discoveries and Transformations
Discusses Maloufâ s â elusiveâ fiction in the context of his poetry, concentrating on the treatment of common developing concerns

The 20th Anniversary of *ALS
A.D. Hope, Leonie Kramer and Laurie Hergenhan discuss the significance of Australian Literary Studies and its contribution to the study and teaching of Australian Literature
Walter Stone
A sad loss to the world of Australian Literature was the death in August 1981 of Walter Stone, O.A.M., noted bibliographer, publisher, printer, and book collector. Walter Stone was one of the pioneers, possibly the main one after Morris Miller, of modern bibliography in the Australian field. He is to be honoured for his own publications and for those he inspired and published. Among the former are his checklist of Henry Lawson's contributions to …

October 1977 (VIII, 2), and future ones will appear at two-yearly intervals. Projects previously recorded are not included in the present list, except whe…

Patrick White’s ‘Return to Abyssinia’
Hergenhan describes his discovery of the program for White's first, unpublished play, 'Return to Abyssinia', which opened 11 March 1947 at The Bolton Theatre
Ralph Rashleigh
If Ralph Rashleigh was written from the inside, by a convict who never won his freedom in 40 years, it was inevitably written with the aim of getting outâ at least in literary wish fulfilment. Its main interest lies in the terms found for this self-vindication which underlies the whole novel in implicit, perhaps unconscious, ways. It is not simply a matter of the protagonist's winning of his freedom at the end, but of a gradual appeal to the read…

The Redemptive Theme in *His Natural Life
Hergenhan reveals that after Clarke shortened the serial version of For The Term of His Natural Life for book publication a theme of redemption was emphasised. The moral collapse of the â goodâ Rufus Dawes in the latter parts of the book presents the convict as someone requiring redemption. Dawesâ redemption is played out against the degeneration of Reverend North, and the two swap religious roles, preparing the former to â saveâ Sylvia, the pers…
