My Capacious Hold-All of Recollections
"In this eclectic and generous memoir, doyenne of Tasmanian letters, Berenice Eastman, recounts not only her own life, but the stories and lives of many of her contemporaries, including musicians, actors, writers, teachers and, of course, the lives and aspirations of the women of the Hamilton Literary Society."--Bookseller's website.

Locating Australian Literary Memory
‘Locating Australian Literary Memory’ explores the cultural meanings suffusing local literary commemorations. It is orientated around eleven authors – Adam Lindsay Gordon, Joseph Furphy, Henry Handel Richardson, Henry Lawson, A. B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson, Nan Chauncy, Katharine Susannah Prichard, Eleanor Dark, P. L. Travers, Kylie Tennant and David Unaipon – who have all been celebrated through a range of forms including statues, huts, trees, writers’ houses and assorted objects. Brigid Magner illuminates the social memory residing in these monuments and artefacts, which were largely created as bulwarks against forgetting. Acknowledging the value of literary memorials and the voluntary labour that enables them, she traverses the many contradictions, ironies and eccentricities of authorial commemoration in Australia, arguing for an expanded repertoire of practices to recognise those who have been hitherto excluded.
