      Note/s:
      • Editor's Introduction: An anthology entitled The Wide Brown Land was first published by Angus and Robertson in 1934. It was selected by Dr George Mackaness and his daughter Joan Mackaness and turned out to be extremely popular ... What, then, was the purpose or spirit of Dr Mackaness's anthology which I have tried here to maintain? ... So, that is the purpose of this anthology: to present what is wide and brown; and not to be too highbrow about it. ... Douglas Stewart ([4]p.).
