Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Alfred, the eldest son of the Bligh family, has traveled the world like a vagabond. However, since he is a poor communicator, his whereabouts and activities are often left to his family’s imagination. One morning, as the Bligh family gather around their breakfast table, they are no longer left to wonder. Having only sent a letter after his voyage across the ocean, Alfred writes his family a letter to warn them of his arrival, and tells them of an even bigger surprise. While on an Australian adventure, Alfred met the love of his life, Gladys, and promptly married her. Now, the newlywed couple were back in Alfred’s home country of England, and ready to meet the family for the first time. Though Alfred acknowledges that he understands the shock the news might cause, he promises his family that they will love Gladys. However, it is apparent that the young man has overestimated his family’s affection when Alfred and Gladys arrive. Disliking even her name, the Bligh family are unapologetically British, and are convinced that Australians are barbarians. As Gladys tries to fit in and overcome the family’s prejudices, she quickly recognizes faults and hypocrisies in the Bligh's’ distain for her nationality. Partially inspired by E.W Hornung’s own travels to Australia, A Bride from the Bush is a descriptive and comedic tale that exposes the flaws in 19th century British culture through the perspective of an Australian native. With themes of identity and prejudice, A Bride from the Bush remains to be a fresh and relatable dramatic comedy. This edition of author E.W Hornung’s debut novel, A Bride from the Bush, features a new, eye-catching cover design and is reprinted in a modern and readable font. With these accommodations, contemporary readers are encouraged to revisit this classic comedy.

Download or read book Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s 1940s written by David Carter and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s explores how Australian writers and their works were present in the United States before the mid twentieth century to a much greater degree than previously acknowledged. Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature’s connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures. Carter and Osborne examine how Australian authors, editors and publishers engaged productively with their American counterparts, and how American readers and reviewers responded to Australian works. They consider the role played by British publishers and agents in taking Australian writing to America, and how the international circulation of new literary genres created new opportunities for novelists to move between markets. Some of these writers, such as Christina Stead and Patrick White, remain household names; others who once enjoyed international fame, such as Dale Collins and Alice Grant Rosman, have been largely forgotten. The story of their books in America reveals how culture, commerce and copyright law interacted to create both opportunities and obstacles for Australian writers.

This book was released on 2018-05-12 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bride from the Bush is the first novel written by E. W. Hornung. He started writing the book while working as a tutor for Charles Joseph Parsons in Mossgiel Station, New South Wales, Australia. The novel was initially published by Smith, Elder & Co. as a serial in the Cornhill Magazine, and then published in book format by the same company in October 1890. As with Tiny Luttrell and The Unbidden Guest, two of Hornung's other early novels, A Bride from the Bush points out flaws in British society by presenting the country through an Australian perspective. A reviewer from The New York Times called the novel "a most piquant contrast between civilization and crudity". The writer Thomas Alexander Browne called the titular character of A Bride from the Bush "a libel to Australian womankind".[6] A Punch editor made the opposite claim, arguing that the protagonist of the novel is more kind-hearted and attractive than actual Australians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, a family would think nothing of the fact that one of their sons had fallen in love with an Australian woman. In the stodgy nineteenth century, however, the news was taken somewhat differently. Indeed, for the proper British Bligh family in E. W. Hornung's A Bride From the Bush, a dispatch delivering this information is received in the manner of a bomb detonating at the breakfast table. The author skillfully spins what starts out as a classic fish-out-of-water tale into a beguiling mystery.
