A critique of Harris translation of Berne’s Transactional Analysis. It explains Child Adult Parent states as mental tapes shaping present behavior and aims to help readers gain self awareness to form healthier adult relationships. It notes Harris is not Berne but offers a usable complement with caveats.
The review praises Roger Fulford's Royal Dukes as a reliable readable study of George III's sons, their failed marriages, and political limits. It notes limited marriages due to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 and Parliament, the flawed lives of the princes, and Fulford's energetic, insightful approach despite occasional biases in expanding over forty years.
The May issue of Australian Literary Studies features Jerome H Rosenberg of Miami University Ohio analyzing Rolf Boldrewood's Robbery Under Arms. He discusses narrative perspective and cultural history and how the work invites ambivalence in interpreting the author’s attitude toward his world.
A fragmentary notice surveys Boldrewood and Twain like comparisons in a broader discussion of literary motives and means. It mentions James McAuley and Rosemary Dobson analyses and hints at Norman Lindaly's Creative Effort, noting scholarly critique and erudition.
The Literature Board of the Australian Council for the Arts recommends subsidies totaling over 500000 for 119 writers this year including two and three year guaranteed incomes of 6000 to 9000 dollars. The plan emphasizes long term support with 14 writers receiving 6000 yearly for three years and 13 receiving 9000 yearly for three years while a lending right scheme may begin next year to channel royalties from libraries. Critics question selection criteria citing age and poet status as insufficient reasons and warn against bias toward established authors over newer talent.
The piece debates the 9,000 three year fellowships to well known Australian writers in their 30s and 40s, the omission of women ages on the board release, and whether patronage will help or stifle literary talent. It argues for more support to younger writers and for markets in fiction radio and film while noting the risk of mediocrity and market pressures.
A resilient filmmaker recalls meeting Elsa Chauvel and being hosted by her as she recounts life with Charles Chauvel. Born Elsa Wilcox in 1898 Melbourne, she endured early travels in the Transvaal to entertain Dutch settlers, later joining the African Theatres Trust.
Elsa Chauvel recounts the life and work of Charles Chauvel, a pivotal Australian filmmaker. From early production clashes in Sydney to Hollywood forays, his films like Greenhide and Forty Thousand Horsemen shaped Australian cinema. The narrative covers Elsa’s marriage, key collaborations, and the posthumous effort to preserve his catalog for future generations.
