| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Mulga Bill's Bicycle Andrew Barton Paterson, 1993-09-15 Celebrating 40 years in print this is a new edition of the classic children's poem by Australia's favourite poet, A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson. Mulga Bill's Bicycle was written by Banjo Paterson in 1896. It was written at a time when cycling was a relatively new and popular social activity. Cycles were ridden everywhere, including in the outback by shearers and other workers who needed to travel cheaply. Mulga Bill's Bicycle tells the hilarious story of Mulga Bill, who thinks he's much better at cycling than he turns out to be. A resounding crash sends him back to his original mode of transport - his trusty horse.

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Saltbush Bill, J. P. Andrew Barton Paterson, 2020-09-28 Not for the love of women toil we, we of the craft, Not for the people's praise; Only because our goddess made us her own and laughed, Claiming us all our days, Claiming our best endeavourÑbody and heart and brain Given with no reserveÑ Niggard is she towards us, granting us little gain; Still, we are proud to serve. Not unto us is given choice of the tasks we try, Gathering grain or chaff; One of her favoured servants toils at an epic high, One, that a child may laugh. Yet if we serve her truly in our appointed place, Freely she doth accord Unto her faithful servants always this saving grace, Work is its own reward! |

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Ob-scene Spaces in Australian Narrative. An Account of the Socio-topographic Construction of Space in Australian Literature Pablo Armellino, 2012-02-27 Ob-scene Spaces in Australian Narrative is an exhaustive survey of Australian literature proposing itself as a journey through time and space. With a careful selection of texts which recount Australian history from the early days of white colonization to the present, this study endeavours to cast light on the process of socio-topographic construction that the settlers imposed upon the continent.As suggested by the title, the textual inquiry conducted in this book is driven by the stimulating ambiguity that lies between physical space and its discursive construction. A selection of canonical and non-canonical texts by authors ranging from Henry Lawson to Christos Tsiolkas aims to reveal the relationship between the space of the city (the scene) and the outback (the ob-scene space beyond the metropolitan area) and its role in the process of spatial construction that, through the last two centuries, has shaped Australia.Pablo Armellino’s distinctive approach to Australian literature makes Ob-scene Spaces in Australian Narrative a very interesting work. Using a carefully selected range of novels, linked together using social and literary theory, it recounts the history of colonization in Australia in a particularly approachable manner. Through the analysis of each text the reader seamlessly learns about the expansion of the frontier, the creation of an ob-scene space beyond it and the use the Discourse makes of this mechanism. These characteristics would appeal to both an academic audience, which would appreciate the detailed text analysis, and a general audience, which would enjoy the historical and thematic aspect of the book.– Professor Carmen Concilio and Professor Pietro Deandrea, Facoltà di Lingue, Università di Torino |

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Empire Writing Elleke Boehmer, 1998-07-02 `The contact with . . .primitive nature and primitive man brings sudden and profound trouble into the heart.' (Joseph Conrad) `Flowers look loveliest in their native soil . . .plucked, they fade, And lose the colours Nature on them laid.' (Toru Dutt) This is the first anthology to gather together British imperial writing alongside native and settler literature in English, interweaving short stories, poems, essays, travel writing, and memoirs from the phase of British expansionist imperialism known as high empire.

Drawn from India, Africa, the West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and Britain, this wide-ranging selection reveals the vivid contrasts and subtle shifts in responses to colonial experience, and embraces some of empire's key symbols and emblematic moments. Comprehensive notes and full biographies ensure that this is one of the most compelling, readable and academically valuable source books on the period.

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Victorian Narratives of Failed Emigration Tamara S Wagner, 2016-05-26 In her study of the unsuccessful nineteenth-century emigrant, Tamara S. Wagner argues that failed emigration and return drive nineteenth-century writing in English in unexpected, culturally revealing ways. Wagner highlights the hitherto unexplored subgenre of anti-emigration writing that emerged as an important counter-current to a pervasive emigration propaganda machine that was pressing popular fiction into its service. The exportation of characters at the end of a novel indisputably formed a convenient narrative solution that at once mirrored and exaggerated public policies about so-called 'superfluous' or 'redundant' parts of society. Yet the very convenience of such pat endings was increasingly called into question. New starts overseas might not be so easily realizable; emigration destinations failed to live up to the inflated promises of pro-emigration rhetoric; the 'unwanted' might make a surprising reappearance. Wagner juxtaposes representations of emigration in the works of Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Frances Trollope, and Charlotte Yonge with Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian settler fiction by Elizabeth Murray, Clara Cheeseman, and Susanna Moodie, offering a new literary history not just of nineteenth-century migration, but also of transoceanic exchanges and genre formation. |
| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Farewell to the Horse Ulrich Raulff, 2017-05-25 THE SUNDAY TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017 'A beautiful and thoughtful exploration of the role of the horse in creating our world' James Rebanks 'Scintillating, exhilarating ... you have never read a book like it ... a new way of considering history' Observer The relationship between horses and humans is an ancient, profound and complex one. For millennia horses provided the strength and speed that humans lacked. How we travelled, farmed and fought was dictated by the needs of this extraordinary animal. And then, suddenly, in the 20th century the links were broken and the millions of horses that shared our existence almost vanished, eking out a marginal existence on race-tracks and pony clubs. Farewell to the Horse is an engaging, brilliantly written and moving discussion of what horses once meant to us. Cities, farmland, entire industries were once shaped as much by the needs of horses as humans. The intervention of horses was fundamental in countless historical events. They were sculpted, painted, cherished, admired; they were thrashed, abused and exposed to terrible danger. From the Roman Empire to the Napoleonic Empire every world-conqueror needed to be shown on a horse. Tolstoy once reckoned that he had cumulatively spent some nine years of his life on horseback. Ulrich Raulff's book, a bestseller in Germany, is a superb monument to the endlessly various creature who has so often shared and shaped our fate. |
| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: To Hell & High Water Gregory Bryan, 2012-07-15 To Hell and High Water tells the story of the quest of two brothers to conquer the extreme conditions of outback Australia, recreating the Bourke to Hungerford `tramp' that influenced some of Australian literary legend Henry Lawson's greatest works. The book is part autobiography and part biography. It is an autobiography of the author's experiences with his brother overcoming significant obstacles to achieve his dream of walking in Lawson's footsteps. It paints a vivid picture of some of Australia's most remote country, the challenges and dangers, the heat, the distance, mosquitoes, blisters and thirst. At the same time it blends in the biography of Henry Lawson's captivating life including his marriage, struggles with alcoholism, his suicide attempt, influences upon his writing and his ideals of mateship. Extracts of Lawson's own writing have been carefully selected and woven into the narrative in a manner that draws parallels between the two experiences and offers fresh insights into his life. |
| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: The Man from Snowy River Andrew Barton Paterson, 2022-03-14 The Man from Snowy River is a poem by Australian bush poet Banjo Paterson. It was first published in The Bulletin, an Australian news magazine, on 26 April 1890, and was published by Angus & Robertson in October 1895, with other poems by Paterson, in The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses. The poem tells the story of a horseback pursuit to recapture the colt of a prizewinning racehorse that escaped from its paddock and is living with the brumbies (wild horses) of the mountain ranges. Eventually the brumbies descend a seemingly impassable steep slope, at which point the assembled riders give up the pursuit, except the young protagonist, who spurs his pony (small horse) down the terrible descent and catches the mob. Two characters mentioned in the early part of the poem are featured in previous Paterson poems: Clancy of the Overflow and Harrison from Old Pardon, Son of Reprieve. |

She formed a bond with the land as though it were a member of her family. When the Millennium Drought hit, though, bringing with it heatwaves and duststorms, the future she'd always imagined for herself began to seem impossible.

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Edge of the Sacred - Jung, Psyche, Earth David Tacey, Does earth have spirit or soul? This is a question being asked ever more frequently, especially by those interested in the future of the natural world and the development of consciousness. The alchemists said ‘the greater part of the soul is outside the body’, and indigenous cultures have felt that soul or spirit resides in Nature and the physical environment. Such notions have been dismissed by modernity as illusions, but we are beginning to have second thoughts about the animation of the earth. Science and rationality have not taught us how to love or care for the earth, and in the modern era the environment has been disrespected. The mythic bonds to Nature such as those found in Aboriginal Australian cultures appear to have real survival value because they bind us to the earth in a meaningful way. When these bonds are destroyed by excessive rationality or a collapse of cultural mythology, we are left alone, outside the community of Nature and in an alienated state. In this state we do real damage to the environment, because it is no longer part of our spiritual body or moral responsibility. Jung was one of the first thinkers of our time to consider the psychic influence of the earth and the conditioning of the mind by place. Inspired by his writings and those of James Hillman, the field of ecopsychology has arisen as a powerful new area of inquiry. Edge of the Sacred: Jung, Psyche, Earth contributes to global ecopsychology from an Australian perspective. |
| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson, 2021-11-09 In The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses, Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson crafts a vivid tapestry of Australian rural life, blending humor, heroism, and an evocative sense of place. Written in the late 19th century, Paterson's poetry reflects the rugged landscapes and vibrant culture of the Australian bush. His tales range from thrilling horsemanship to poignant reflections on national identity, all delivered in a lyrical style that balances narrative drive with rich, imagery-laden descriptions. The collection is not merely a celebration of pastoral life; it poses deeper questions about masculinity, society, and the connection between land and identity. Born in 1864 in New South Wales, Paterson was deeply influenced by his upbringing in the Australian bush and his legal career, which allowed him to traverse the nation'Äôs heart. His dual identity as a poet and a bushman informed his work, enabling him to capture the spirit of a burgeoning nation grappling with its own mythology. Paterson wrote during the Australian frontier period, a time when the country was seeking to define itself through its unique landscapes and stories. The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses is an essential read for anyone interested in Australian literature, offering insights into both the geographical and psychological landscapes that shaped the country. Its engaging storytelling and musical quality make it accessible, while its deeper themes encourage reflection, making it a timeless cornerstone of not just Australian culture, but also of world literature. |

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: "Over There" with the Australians R. Hugh Knyvett, 2022-09-16 In 'Over There' with the Australians, R. Hugh Knyvett offers an immersive insight into the experiences of Australian soldiers during World War I. Knyvett's narrative weaves a tapestry of military camaraderie, hardship, and the tumultuous backdrop of a world at war. With its richly descriptive prose and its panoramic scope, the book delves into the physical and psychological landscape that the soldiers inhabited, shedding light on both their collective and individual journeys. This literary work not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the endurance of the human spirit, with a style that resonates with the period's literary context, balancing the grit of war reportage with the poignancy of personal reflection. R. Hugh Knyvett, having himself been an integral part of the forces 'over there,' lends an authenticity to the account that only firsthand experience can provide. His intricate knowledge of military life and his profound understanding of the soldier's perspective infuse the work with credibility and depth. This intimate connection to the subject matter likely arose from Knyvett's own need to process and document the tumultuous events he and his compatriots lived through, transforming personal history into a legacy for future generations. Scholars, history enthusiasts, and readers with an affinity for wartime narratives will find 'Over There' with the Australians an indispensable addition to their collections. Knyvett's work not only contributes to the canon of World War I literature but also humanizes the warriors behind the ANZAC legend. This edition, meticulously reproduced by DigiCat Publishing, ensures that the valiant stories of these soldiers, and Knyvett's captivating retelling, endure as an essential chapter in the chronicle of human resilience and historical awareness. |

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: Henry and Banjo James Knight, 2015-09-29 The fascinating lives and turbulent times of Henry Lawson and Andrew 'Banjo' Paterson - the two men who wrote Australia's story. Today most of us know that Henry Lawson and Andrew 'Banjo' Paterson were famous writers. We know about Matilda, Clancy of the Overflow and the Man from Snowy River; The Drover's Wife, While the Billy Boils and Joe Wilson and his mates, but little else. Here, in a compelling and engaging work, James Knight brings Henry and Banjo's own stories to life. And there is much to tell. Both were country born, just three years and three hundred kilometres apart, Henry on the goldfields of Grenfell and Banjo on a property near Orange, but their paths to literary immortality took very different routes - indeed at times their lives were ones of savage and all too tragic contrasts. Banjo, born into a life of comparative privilege, would rise from country boy to Sydney Grammar student, solicitor, journalist, war correspondent and revered man about town. Henry's formal education only began when his feminist mother finally won her battle for a local school but illness and subsequent deafness would make continuing his lessons difficult, seeing him find work as a labourer, a coach painter and a journalist, all the while wrestling with poverty, alcoholism and mental illness. Both men would become household names during their lifetimes. Both would have regrets. Henry and Banjo details two incredibly fascinating lives and delves into the famous (and not so famous) writings of the two men who had the power to influence and change Australia. |

| banjo paterson in defence of the bush: The Routledge Companion to Australian Literature Jessica Gildersleeve, 2020-12-22 In recent years, Australian literature has experienced a revival of interest both domestically and internationally. The increasing prominence of work by writers like Christos Tsiolkas, heightened through television and film adaptation, as well as the award of major international prizes to writers like Richard Flanagan, and the development of new, high-profile prizes like the Stella Prize, have all reinvigorated interest in Australian literature both at home and abroad. This Companion emerges as a part of that reinvigoration, considering anew the history and development of Australian literature and its key themes, as well as tracing the transition of the field through those critical debates. It considers works of Australian literature on their own terms, as well as positioning them in their critical and historical context and their ethical and interactive position in the public and private spheres. With an emphasis on literature’s responsibilities, this book claims Australian literary studies as a field uniquely positioned to expose the ways in which literature engages with, produces and is produced by its context, provoking a critical re-evaluation of the concept of the relationship between national literatures, cultures, and histories, and the social function of literary texts. |
