AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Scholars are now starting to realise the extent to which works published in Australia have been subjected to the bowdlerising influences of an author's peers and publishers. Writings of historical witness, such as autobiographies and journals, focus the problem acutely. This thesis deals with the Australian journals of Georgiana Huntly Gordon McCrae, whose manuscripts were edited by her son Hugh McCrae, and published by Angus & Robertson in 1934. The thesis is in two parts: the first part offers an analysis of the compositional and publishing history of the journal. It gives a detailed description of Hugh McCrae's editing and publishing process, including McCrae's relationship with Angus & Robertson. The second part of the thesis is a diplomatic edition of the journal with full textual and explanatory annotation, and editorial introduction and an index.
