1 William Charles Wentworth-- and the Continuity of Australian Literature John V. Byrnes , 1963 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Letters , April vol. 5 no. 3 1963; (p. 10-18) Byrnes argues that Wentworth's "Australasia" exhibits the style of "pipes" (anonymous, scurrilous verses) which circulated in the early years of the Australian colony. Wentworth is the link, Byrnes suggests, between these early examples of colonial verse and the subsequent development of Australian poetry.

— Appears in: Australian Letters , June vol. 3 no. 4 1961; (p. 15-24) Byrnes defends Martin's An Australian Girl against the criticism of Miller & Macartney, Colin Roderick and Miles Franklin, noting the quality of her writing, her use of Australian themes and her recognition of the significance of religion in the lives of her characters.
1 1 Barron Field - Recultivated John V. Byrnes , 1961 single work criticism biography
— Appears in: Southerly , vol. 21 no. 3 1961; (p. 6-18) Byrnes argues that First Fruits of Australian Poetry should be read in the context of poetic production during the Macquarie period. First Fruits was an attempt to rescue fauna and flora from scientific description, making its goals "revolutionary and audacious" in comparison to other verse being produced in the colony. After examining the poetry Field published before and after his time in Australia, Byrnes concludes that First Fruits was deliberately different and the unique nature of this expression should be appreciated in its own right rather than through comparison with later poets.
