Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: This paper will examine the works of some Australian female colonial poets, who, in contrast to male authors, have critically examined their situation in their writings and in this way offered a realistic view on life in Australia at the time. To begin with, the culturally specific concepts of femininity and masculinity in literature are to be inspected and how the male myth is embodied in the bush legend. The essay examines the contemporary Australian literary production and analyses the role of women authors. Secondly, the function and role of poetry for the feminist movement in literature will be demonstrated. Although women’s prose has received more attention than their poetry has, and prose writers were central to literary culture, I chose to focus on poetry, since it has been suggested that poetry tended to exhibit the clearest record of the feminist movement. Since many female writers turned to fiction, as poetry was considered men’s territory, women poets had to struggle against male attitudes. The essay will research the circumstances of female productions, how they were reviewed by fellow writers and which obstacles women poets had encountered. Although journals do not relate directly to this topic, I feel motivated – due to the fact that poetry was especially dependent on periodical publications – to call attention especially to the significance of The Dawn, opposed to the Bulletin. Furthermore, the main aim of this paper is to illustrate the thematic range that was relevant to female poetry. The question of which themes and motifs had preoccupied their verse will be discussed. Main themes such as marriage, love, independence, loneliness, religion and the potential for future female influence will be illustrated in poems by authors such as Louisa Lawson, Ada Cambridge, Emma Anderson, Caroline Leakey, Mary Hannay Foott and Emily Manning.
John O'Brien's 'Around the Boree Log, and Other Verses' is a collection of poetry that celebrates Australian rural life and culture with a deep sense of nostalgia and appreciation. Written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, O'Brien's work reflects the literary context of Australian bush poetry, drawing inspiration from the likes of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson. His verse is characterized by its simplicity and sincerity, portraying the beauty and hardship of life in the outback. John O'Brien, a Catholic priest born Patrick Joseph Hartigan, used his experiences in rural New South Wales to shape his poetry and provide insight into the values and struggles of the Australian bush people. His deep connection to the land and its people shines through in his heartfelt and often humorous verses, making him a beloved figure in Australian literature. I highly recommend 'Around the Boree Log, and Other Verses' to readers interested in Australian poetry and the depiction of rural life. O'Brien's work captures the essence of the outback while offering a glimpse into the heart and soul of the Australian bushmen.
My book traces the significant poetic and political contributions made by non-canonical women poets, situating women's poetry both in colonial Australian print culture and in wider imperial and transnational contexts. Women poets in colonial Australia have tended to be represented as marginal and isolated figures or absent. This study intervenes by demonstrating an alternative networked tradition of transnational feminist poetics and politics beyond and around emergent masculine nationalism, particularly within newspapers and periodical print culture. Without the inclusion of periodical literature, women’s poetry in Australia during the colonial period would appear to have been fairly limited. When periodical literature is taken into account, this picture is radically altered, and poets emerge as consistent contributors, often across a variety of newspapers and journals, who were well-known, influential and connected with political figures and literary circles. In examining this poetry in the original context of the newspapers and journals, the political intervention and the reception of that poetry is made much more apparent.
No other form of art can capture the range and diversity of human experience the way poetry does. Verses, Popular and Humorous, was the second collection of poems by Australian poet Henry Lawson. It is a fascinating collection of the most cherished poems by the bush poet. The words and thoughts expressed in these verses are a joy to read and will leave an everlasting impact on the reader. These delightful poems are written on various topics that interest the readers and keep them connected with the poet throughout the collection. This work will take the reader on a beautiful journey into the captivating world of poetry. It features some of the poet's earlier significant poems, including "The Lights of Cobb and Co," "Saint Peter," and "The Grog-An'-Grumble-Steeplechase."
