Paperback / softback. New. <p>Mary Gilmore's life spanned almost a century of Australian history. She lived for ninety-seven years and this selection of her letters covers a period of almost seventy years encompassing the social political and literary scene of the period when Australia was changing from colony to nation.</p><p>The letters contain perceptive judgements of indigenous literary talent as it was emerging; they contain reflections on the pioneer past as she herself had experienced it and reflections on the contemporary political and social environment. Sometimes they express her anger at injustice and deprivation wherever it occurred—in the treatment of the Aborigines the returned soldiers women children old people the sick. As she said 'There was no hunted one with whom I did not run.'</p> <p>Above all the letters reflect her immense patriotism and love for her country her enormous hopes for its future; and they give often unintentionally fascinating glimpses of events in which she participated—for example the New Australia venture in Paraguay - events which are now part of our established history.</p> paperback

ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature which now appears in a fully revised and updated edition provides a concise but comprehensive account of Australian writing from European settlement in 1788 to 1993. Its chief aim is to present the most important achievements of Australian literature in the major fields of poetry fiction and drama but considerable attention has also been paid to non-fictional prose and to the impact on Australian literature of those historical events which served not only as catalysts but also as the subject matter of so much of it. William Wilde and Joy Hooton - building on the 1985 edition which was co-authored by the late Barry Andrews - present an even more diverse record of literary achievement. The new Companion reflects three major changes in the literary culture: the emergence of Aboriginal writing the increase in and recognition of multicultural writing and the great increase in women's writing in all genres. The new edition also reflects the substantial research achievements of literary historians textual critics bibliographers biographers and the impact of critical reinterpretations based on such 'new' approaches as feminism and post-colonialism. Every entry has been reappraised and where necessary revised and expanded. During the 1980s several Australian writers won international reputations. many of them - Malouf Garner Murray Jolley Carey and Williamson - produced some of their key works after the first edition of the Companion was completed and their entries have been rewritten accordingly. In addition a new generation of writers has been included - Brett Halligan Henshaw Castro Grenville Masters and Hodgins to name just a few. Reviewing the first edition A.D. Hope acclaimed it as a 'landmark'. In the greatly expended second edition the authors provide a fuller and more contemporary record of the national literature. Quantity Available: 1.
