Title: | Forgotten poetic sensibilities: the plays of Charles Jury and Ray Mathew | Contributor(s): | Ryan, John S (author) | Publication Date: | 1986 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11116 | Abstract: | Two of the playwrights collected by Campbell Howard, namely the poets Charles Jury and Ray Mathew, attempted modes of dramatic expression and philosophical speculation which, severally, were atypical of the usual prose social and naturalistic texts produced in such quantities in the period 1920-1955. Although some of the work of both was to be published subsequently it cannot be said that either obtained more than limited public recognition as a dramatist, and each is largely forgotten today. Yet, as we shall see, the diction used by them, coupled with the intensity of their concern for both subject and characters, will ensure their ultimate place, albeit minor, in the canon of Australian drama. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Australian Drama 1920-1955: Papers presented to a Conference at the University of New England, Armidale, September 1-4, 1984, p. 71-88 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISBN: | 0858346230 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200209 Multicultural, Intercultural and Cross-cultural Studies 200502 Australian Literature (excl Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Literature) 200299 Cultural Studies not elsewhere classified |
