The foundational work in Australian and literary bibliography was done by John Ferguson (Bibliography of Australia, 1941-86), E. Morris Miller (Australian Literature from Its Beginnings to 1935 : A Descriptive and Bibliographical Survey of Books by Australian Authors in Poetry, Drama, Fiction, Criticism and Anthology, 1940) and H.M. Green (A History of Australian Literature, Pure and Applied : A Critical Review of All Forms of Literature Produced in Australia from the First Books Published After the Arrival of the First Fleet Until 1950, with Short Accounts of Later Publications Up to 1960, 1961), all born in 1881. Each of these major works includes information about a nucleus of early and important Tasmanian works.
To date, the most important bibliographical and literary-historical work about Tasmania specifically has been E. Morris Miller’s Pressmen and Governors : Australian Editors and Writers in Early Tasmania. A Contribution to the History of the Australian Press and Literature with Notes Biographical and Bibliographical(Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1952). This study concentrates on the biographical record, editorial, journalistic and creative writing, and colonial milieu of Robert Lathrop Murray, Evan Henry Thomas, Thomas Richards, David Burn, James Knox, Nathaniel Lipscomb Kentish, John Eardley-Wilmot and Edward Kemp, with appendices about James Ross, William Gore Elliston, Henry Melville, Henry Savery, Mary Leman Grimstone, Andrew Bent. It includes a useful ‘Chronological Conspectus of Writers.’ I. Kepars has compiled volume 194 in the World Bibliographical Series, Tasmania (1997), which includes sections on Biographies and Autobiographies, Literature and Language, and Newspapers, Magazines and Periodicals. See also Celmara Pocock, Bibliography of Tasmanian Travel (UTAS, 2006). This AustLit subset builds on and extends this specifically regional bibliographical work. Clifford Craig’s Notes on Tasmania notes that ‘Ferguson’s Bibliography has superseded all previous books [on Tasmanian bibliography]. However until this was published the list in the back of Fenton’s History of Tasmania prepared by J.B. Walker was the most useful list’ (296). Although designed primarily for specialist collectors, Ian Wilson’s Collecting Old Tasmanian Books (2010) is a valuable general reference work. Wilson provides biographies of major collectors and a bibliography of landmark publications, as well as a substantial ‘thematic survey’ that places books published in and about Tasmania in broader social, political and cultural contexts.
Also of relevance to the literature of Tasmania is Project Gutenberg Australia that includes easily accessible e-books discussed in this introduction under its Library of Australiana and Australia’s Greatest Books sections, along with digitised maps and documents of relevance to research in Tasmanian literature and history.
Important collections of unpublished papers and historical documents relevant to literary research in Tasmania are held in the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office, the N.J.B. Plomley, J.W. Beattie and Clifford Craig collections in the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (Launceston), the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (Hobart), and in the Royal Society, Quaker and Rare Books collections at the University of Tasmania. The Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office provides search tools for its original records, archives and index of Tasmanian names. The University of Tasmania holds some of the Roy and Hilda Bridges papers, while other papers and a full set of the Bridges’ works are held in the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office.
William Moore Ferrar’s (1823-1906) diaries, letters and papers are an important record of an early Tasmanian literary figure but more broadly, of colonial educated readership patterns. Ferrar was an Irish immigrant to Van Diemen’s Land who settled at a family property, ‘Plassy,’ on the outskirts of Ross and his diaries and farm journals cover the period 1840 to 1897. His first novel, The Maxwells of Bremgarten was published in the Launceston Examiner in fifty-one chapters between 6 April 1867 and 17 October 1868. He is most well known for his Haggardesque fantasy novel set around Lake Sorrel and the Great Lake, Artabanzanus : The Demon of the Great Lake : An Allegorical Romance of Tasmania. Arranged from the diary of the late Oliver Ubertus. The microfilm copies of the Ferrar diaries are available in the Tasmanian Archives and Heritage Office and the descendants of Ferrar have allowed researchers like Keith Adkins access to the originals which record, amongst horticultural and other details of daily life, Ferrar’s reading, his book buying from the UK and booksellers in Hobart and Launceston, as well as his borrowing of books from local libraries and individuals. Keith Adkins’s article ‘The Ferrar Diaries: William Moore Ferrar and His Books' (Script & Print 34.4 [December 2010]: 197-215) is an informative analysis of the Ferrar diaries and includes many details about Ferrar’s reading and book-buying activities. Adkins is a book and library historian who has also published Reading in Colonial Tasmania : The Early Years of the Evandale Subscription Library with its ‘strikingly detailed picture of the intellectual life of this rural district in the nineteenth century’ (Ratcliff 73). Other scholarship in the early book and reading history of Tasmania includes Wallace Kirsop’s, ‘Books and Readers in Colonial Tasmania' The Flow of Culture: Tasmanian Studies (Canberra: Australian Academy of the Humanities, 1987): 102-21 and ‘Bookselling in Hobart Town in the 1840s,’ Books for Colonial Readers: The Nineteenth-Century Australian Experience (Melbourne: BSANZ, 1995): 59-76.
Bibliographical and literary historical information is also available in useful entries for Tasmania and Van Diemen’s Land in William Wilde, Joy Hooton and Barry Andrews, eds The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature(Melbourne: Oxford UP, 1986; revised 2nd ed. 1994) and the section on ‘Tasmania’ in Peter Pierce and Rosemary Hunter, eds The Oxford Literary Guide to Australia(Melbourne: Oxford UP, 1987; 2nd ed. 1993).
Other relevant volumes for research into the literature of Tasmania include Elizabeth Webby’s Early Australian Poetry: An Annotated Bibliography of Original Poems Published in Australian Newspapers, Magazines and Almanacs Before 1850 (1982); Alison Alexander, ed. The Companion to Tasmanian History (Hobart: Centre for Tasmanian Historical Studies, University of Tasmania, 2005); David Murray-Smith, ‘A Kent Group & Bass Strait Bibliography: selected contributions to Bass Strait studies by Stephen Murray-Smith’ (The La Trobe Journal, 82 [Spring 2008]: 118-19); John Cumpston, Macquarie Island: A Bibliography, Studies in Australian Bibliography, No. 6, Gen. Ed. Walter W. Stone (Cremorne: The Stone Copying Company, 1958); and Margaret Giordano and Don Norman’s Tasmanian Literary Landmarks (Hobart: Shearwater, 1984). The Copyright Agency’s online resource ‘Reading Australia,’ includes teaching resources on books by Dennis Altman, Richard Flanagan, Gwen Harwood, Christopher Koch, Amanda Lohrey, and Louis Nowra.
The first scholarly journal of Australian literature, Australian Literary Studies, which included annual bibliographies of creative and critical works, began in Hobart in 1963, edited by Laurie Hergenhan, then a Lecturer in English at the University of Tasmania, and supported by James McAuley (see Laurie Hergenhan, ‘Starting a Journal : ALS, Hobart 1963 : James McAuley, A D Hope and Geoffrey Dutton’ in Australian Literary Studies 19.4 [October 2000]: 433-3 and Philip Mead, ‘Fifty Years of Australian Literary Studies’ in Humanities Australia 5 [2014]: 89-93.)
