The bibliography of Australian literature K to O.


This important reference work continues to be published and there are now three volumes with two more to go. When completed we will have a new up to date reference work of the books of fiction published in Australia. I must emphasise that the bibliography bibliography. The listing of books is of ancient origin. Lists of clay tablets have been found at Nineveh and elsewhere; the library at Alexandria had subject lists of its books.  includes all works of fiction listed by author and is not restricted to 'literature'. All writers are included including those who have written popular fiction and even what is often referred to as 'pulp' fiction.

The book is published by the University of Queensland The University of Queensland (UQ) is the longest-established university in the state of Queensland, Australia, a member of Australia's Group of Eight, and the Sandstone Universities. It is also a founding member of the international Universitas 21 organisation.  Press and is up to their usual high standard of publication. It is a heavy tome and not something you can easily browse (1) To view the contents of a file or a group of files.

The works are listed in a straightforward alphabetical arrangement by author and is easily accessible. Some Bibliographers might quibble QUIBBLE. A slight difficulty raised without necessity or propriety; a cavil.

 at it being described as a 'Bibliography' although this term is used in the popularly accepted term as a 'list of books'. True bibliography, the experts would claim, is the study of the texts of books not their mere listing however detailed.

My special interest in this volume was in the record of books by John Lang John Lang may refer to several people:
  • John Lang, was a sailor in the United States Navy.
  • John Lang, was a former professor at the University of Dushan Mandik, who helped find a way to cure ED, or Erectile Dysfunction.
. The Mulini Press publications of his work are well represented although the latest newly discovered works by Lang are missing because they were not published in time to fit in with the closing date for inclusion. I was upset to see recorded that the copy of Lang's published poem 'Geraldine' held in the British Library British Library, national library of Great Britain, located in London. Long a part of the British Museum, the library collection originated in 1753 when the government purchased the Harleian Library, the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton, and groups of manuscripts.  is missing from the Library's collection. It is the only known copy of this work. I hope it is only mis-shelved. I took a hand written copy when I used the book some years ago and will have to use that when I publish the poem in the John Lang Project if it is not found.

Congratulations to the Editors on a job well done. We can now look forward to the next volume of this mammoth mammoth, name for several large prehistoric elephants of the extinct genus Mammuthus, which ranged over Eurasia and North America in the Pleistocene epoch.  undertaking. Some of our most important writers will be represented in the volumes from P to Z. Perhaps when the work is completed there will be scope for a supplementary volume.
