Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Austral Garden: An Anthology of Australian Verse In the compilation of this Anthology, it has been the aim of the Editors to secure a thoroughly representative selection of the best work of Australian writers. In this they have been assisted by many enthusiastic admirers of what is good in the work of our own poets. From New Zealand and from capitals and far-back localities in every State of the Commonwealth have come valuable suggestions and assistance. The later work, including some hitherto unpublished, along with the best selections from earlier writings, is here set out, so that Australians may learn something of the verse-literature of their own making, and that they may be inspired by this knowledge to acquaint themselves more fully With the works of writers who appeal most strongly to them. In this way they may have revealed to them the many gems that the anthologist, limited by the space at his disposal, must leave behind him, however, regretfully. It is hoped that the interest of readers may be extended so as to give to each an impulse towards the acquisition of a knowledge, first, of the literature of our own land, secondly, of the wider and deeper literature of the English tongue, and finally, of that still wider domain of world literature, wherein we find expressed the hopes, ideals, and aspirations of what was best in mankind since the dawn of history. The literature of our land is, in one sense, a historical record of the development of its nationhood and, in another, it might be considered as playing an important part in building up the character and the future history of the nation. As a record, one cannot help admiring its faithfulness its freedom from the restraints of convention. The general objection that the spirit of gloom dominated the Muse of Australia no longer holds. We have singers whose delight in the sights and sounds around them has found genuine expression; whose pride in this land and its people, and whose faith in their future have stirred the thoughtful reader into consciousness of the standing of his nation amongst the world-peoples. These two phases of our national life are here broadly indicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
