Notes

  • Introduction: 'The Australian essay is the product of that most potent force in the cultural development of Australia, the newspaper. The magazine and review have not flourished here.The struggle for existence has been too severe to allow the growth of a completely leisured class, and the partially leisured have developed a taste for reading, rather than a taste for distinction in literature. The story and the newspaper have been preferred to the novel and the review.'
