Notes
-
Many sources stipulate 1904 as the year of Florence James' birth. (It is the year given in The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature, 2nd ed. 1994, and it appeared in Contributors Notes in periodicals and anthologies.) However, James' obituary in The Sydney Morning Herald (27 August, 1993, p.17) states that James was 'born in New Zealand on September 2, 1902'. The year 1902 is also confirmed by an announcement in The Bulletin during 1992 (22 September, p.12) relating to a celebration in honour of James' 90th birthday.
