Hervey White was an American novelist poet and community-builder who was one of the original founders of the Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock New York and the radical artists' colony the Maverick known together as the Woodstock Art Colony. In 1915 White planned the first of the Maverick Festivals which included music and theatrical performances and which would inevitably become an annual celebration of wildness and unity until 1931. In popular press and local culture his long hair beard baggy white linens and purple silks are celebrated as the hallmarks of Woodstock's cultural identity. Small, Maynard & Company hardcover

réf. 205332London Edward Bull 1829. xii22862pp. Small 8vo. Finden engraved title-page. Original boards worn at edges with early cloth backstrip and new 19th century endpapers. A trim and agreeable copy. Hervey's epic poem "Australia" occupies pp.171 to 251 of this collection. It has largely been ignored by commentators and bibliographers eg. Miller Miller & Macartney and OCAL in spite of its considerable importance in the formation of the way in which Australians and the British came to interpret the emergence of a new nation. It is a high-flown vision of an empty continent morally degraded waiting for the ennobling hand of British settlement. It echoes and reinforces the ideas in Wentworth's "Australasia".
