1904 A Southern Garland Antique Australian Poetry Fiction Book The Bulletin News

A Southern Garland
By Various Authors
Published by The Bulletin Newspaper Company Limited Publishers: Sydney 1904
In Original Decorated Cloth Bindings - One Of 1975 Ordinary Copies

"A Southern Garland is an attractive and historically significant anthology issued by The Bulletin Newspaper Company of Sydney in 1904, bringing together six of the celebrated Bulletin Booklets originally published between 1899 and 1903. Edited under the influence of the renowned critic and literary champion A. G. Stephens, the volume preserves the work of several emerging Australian writers including Roderic Quinn, James Hebblethwaite, Louise Mack, Hubert Church and Bernard O'Dowd. Published in an edition of just 1,975 ordinary copies and 25 numbered superior copies, it represents an important document of the so-called "Bulletin School" of Australian literature.

The collection reflects the flowering of Australian poetry and literary nationalism at the turn of the twentieth century. Rather than a single work, A Southern Garland gathers together six separately issued booklets, each retaining its own title pages and identity within the larger volume. The anthology is enriched with portrait plates of the contributing authors and provides a fascinating snapshot of the literary culture fostered by The Bulletin, the influential publication often described as the "Bushman's Bible" and instrumental in promoting distinctly Australian voices.

This 1904 first edition survives in its original decorated cloth bindings and is one of the standard issue copies from the edition of 1,975. The volume possesses considerable appeal to collectors of Australiana, Australian poetry and Bulletin publications. Combining handsome production with important literary associations, it stands as an enduring testament to the writers and editors who helped shape Australia's national literature in the years immediately following Federation. Despite some scattered foxing as evident, the book remains an increasingly uncommon and highly desirable example of early twentieth-century Australian publishing."
