Works about this Work

Oscar Wilde and the Centennial Magazine Ross Edmonds , 2020 single work
— Appears in: Biblionews and Australian Notes & Queries , September no. 407 2020; (p. 125-127)
'In an idle moment, among many during the COVID-19 pandemic, I pulled out my set of the Centennial Magazine which I'd bought about six years ago in Melbourne at a sale conducted by Australian Book Auctions. It still had the slip of paper in it with the auction number and catalogue entry which mentioned that it had been published monthly between August 1888 and September 1890 and: included fiction by Rolf Boldrewood, Catherine Spence, Francis Adams and Ada Cambridge; articles on social issues (such as by William Lane on sex and marriage); illustrations after Streeton, Roberts, McCubbin, and Condor among others and, improbably, the first appearance of Oscar Wilde's poem 'Symphony in Yellow'.'

A Week in the Future, Catherine Helen Spence , single work novel science fiction

'Emily Bethal is dying. The doctors give her two years at best. It will be two years of increasing pain and dependence. It is probably the dependence that Emily fears the most. She is independent, spirited and wilful. She has strong opinions and she knows the way the world works ... but she also knows how it should work. Is the deal worth it? Yes, she will avoid the two years of suffering and has traded it for for one week of living in the future. And the future she will see? The bright shiny wonderful and miraculous world of 1988. Yes 100 years into her own future takes her back to our recent past. See the wonders that Emily sees as she experiences a world that she just knows must exist for the betterment of all man ... and womankind.'
