1 1 y separately published work icon Australian Literature : A Lecture Delivered at the Windsor School of Arts on the Evening of Wednesday, the 20th of July, 1864 William Walker , Sydney : Reading and Wellbank , 1864 Z15833 1864 single work criticism 'This is the first study of Australian literature and although it only considers writers of New South Wales it is a most important work. It looks at the writers of our early colonial period with a great degree of appreciation. Some of the names he mentions are no longer familiar but what we would still regard as important early writers are given due reverence. In particular the poets Harpur and Kendall are treated as important poets. The fact that Australian literature was recognised and appreciated at this early date makes this the first important work on the subject.' ---cover
