Notes

  • Epigraph: 'Who can say 'Thus far, no farther,' to the tide of his own nature?

    Who can mould the spirit's fashion to the counsel of his will?

    Square his being by enactment - shape his soul to legislature-

    Be himself his law of living, his own art of good and ill?'

    - J. Brunton Stephens

International Reputations and Transatlantic Rights : Rosa Praed and Louis Becke David Carter , Roger Osborne , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace : 1840s-1940s 2018; (p. 51-82)

'By the end of the nineteenth century, both Rosa Praed and Louis Becke had established international literary careers, in Australia, Britain and the United States. Praed has been claimed as "the first Australian-born novelist to achieve a significant international reputation".' Almost certainly she can lay claim to being the first Australian-born novelist to be published in the United States, although she had been resident in England for several years before her novel Nadine appeared in New York in Munro's Seaside Library in 1883. Of Praed's forty-seven published works, twenty-five appeared in American editions in the three decades from 1885 to 1915, including twenty-four of her thirty-eight novels in more than forty separate editions. Over the same period, Louis Becke achieved an even greater international reputation, if with a more spectacular rise and fall, primarily as a writer of tales of the South Seas. Across the fifteen years from 1895 to 1914, twenty-six of Becke's thirty-four books appeared in the American market.'  (Introduction)
