1 Poetry in South Australia I. M. Foster , 1936 single work criticism
— Appears in: Desiderata , 1 August no. 29 1936; (p. 17-19) 'When I was asked to write this article, I was at once confronted with the difficulty which ultimately must assail every critic in a contribution such as this, not whether to be merely categorical, but to say whether or not there exists in South Australia a body of representative work in which may be found evidence of true poetry. Whether there has been in the verse that exists imagination, creativeness, a tradition, a culture, a direct living note, an expression in words of the beauty of nature, or the things that affect man's spirit and his life. I do not think there has. Such verse as has been written is largely ephemeral, external, and fugitive. It does not constitute, taken as a whole, a permanent and consolidated body of work, through which one might see the national spirit or ethos as one does in English, Irish, German, and French poetry.'

1 The Art of Henry Handel Richardson I. M. Foster , 1931 single work criticism
— Appears in: Desiderata , 2 February no. 7 1931; (p. 10-14) 'When Maurice Guest was first published in 1908, it made, except upon the discerning few, little or no impression. Some few who had noted at once its fine technique and upon whom the character of Louise Dufrayer had left an indefinable sensation, said one to another, as Mr. Baldwin did of Mary Webb's works, "Have you read Maurice Guest?" But that was all. Little more was heard of its author, Henry Handel Richardson, till in 1917 she launched right in the full spate of war the first volume of what was to be her masterly planned trilogy on Australia, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony...'(Source: Introduction)
