BAL: From Kinetica, these may be by this agent using his pseudonym A.H.: 'Chunks of I.W.W.ism', by A.H. Auckland, N.Z. : Local Recruiting Union 1, I.W.W., New Zealand Administration, [1914?] Subject (Corporate) Industrial Workers of the World. Subject (Topical) Labor unions New Zealand. And another one with same alt writing name: 'The Anglo-Russian war of 1900 : invasion of Victoria : capture of Melbourne', by A. H., Melbourne : George Robertson, 1900. And this might be him under the name Viator: 'From up along down under : with the Empire Parliamentary Delegation to Australia', by Viator, St. John's, Newfoundland : [s.n.], 1927 ; also 'Divorce in its ecclesiastical aspect', Microform by "Viator" [pseud.]. A rejoinder to "The question of divorce", by Charles Gore, London,S. Paul & co.,1912 ; also 'Ten years in Anglican orders', by Viator ; with a preface by Luke Rivington London :Catholic Truth Society, 1897 (these possibly by the 'Diary' Viator? - AC); also 'A visit to the Westport coalfields', by Viator,[Christchurch, N.Z.] :Christchurch Press, 1905 ; and 'From up along Down Under :with the Empire Parliamentary Delegation to Australia 1926', by Viator, St. Johns, N. F. :Robinson & Co., 1927. I have no hard proof that any of these belong to this agent, but at least Kinetica is thoroughly plumbed now for this author. Please note that I haven't done a keyword search in Kinetica for his "Victor" alt writing name; Kinetica won't process the search as it is too huge, and it seems unproductive to persevere with this minor pseudonym!

Liz: What a lot of searching you must have done!!! Yet another work by 'Viator' was 'The Wreck of the Quetta: A Graphic Account by a Survivor' (Cummins and Campbell's Magazine 5 ( 49), 85, 87). However, I think 'Viator' (traveller, sojourner) was a fairly common pseudonym, although Nesbitt notes only Hayward using it, and I would certainly discount our Hayward as author of the religious books, especially Ten Years in Anglican Orders (which he wasn't!). I have seen no evidence of his having lived or worked in NZ, so suspect we could cut out the NZ A.H.s too. AC 12.5.04 Look for a poem titled "Romance" - it may begin "Let me gather a spray from far away, a leaf from the long ago," DM140605

BiographyHistory

Son of a pioneer pastoralist who made a fortune in South Australia and then returned to England, Hayward was educated at Rugby and Oxford in England and practised law in South Africa before migrating to Western Australia in 1894. He then worked for several Western Australian newspapers, namely the Cue Advocate, the Geraldton Express, the Kalgoorlie Sun and the Perth Sunday Times, as a reporter, editor and as a writer of rhymes. In 1900, Hayward married Elizabeth Dunn in Perth. After moving to Sydney and joining The Bulletin in 1922, he continued writing topical verse under his several pen-names until his death in 1950.

Hayward believed that verse was an integral component of good journalism, and his work showed an increasing affection for Australian culture. The Australian Dictionary of Biography asserts that 'After the nostalgia for England of his early work, Hayward's editorials, articles and poems soon supported the populist, patriotic strain in Australian literature and life'.
