Australian Literature
N the days of Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson, the Australian man of letters, especially the poet, was essentially a "popular" figure. Today, his position has changed, but still Australia’s literature has not gone beyond the reach of the ordinary man. According ta Dr. Murray Todd, a New Zealander now lecturing in English at Canberra University College, it. is winning both more popular and more official and academic recognition. Dr. Todd gives his viéws on its literature in two talks to be broadcast shortly by YC stations. His first deals with writing in general, and his second with what he considers Australia’s two outstanding contemporary poets, R. D. FitzGerald and Kenneth Slessor, The talks, entitled Australian Literature Today, will be broadcast first by 2YC at 7.30 p.m. on August 25.
