Centre for Australian Language and Literature Studies (CALLS) Yearbook No. 3

Abstract

During 1991 the Centre for Australian Language and Literature Studies has done much to fulfil one of its aims, that of providing a regional focus for research and teaching in the field of Australian Literature. There has been a significant interaction with the communities covered by the amalgamated University of New England and, at the same time, the members of the Centre have maintained their national and international associations. ... The major success for the Centre during 1991 was the Conference on Louisa and Henry Lawson held at Gulgong in September. The papers were excellent; there was much interest, enthusiasm and active support from the Gulgong community and, as well as providing significant literary and social benefits, the conference was a financial success. The papers on Louisa Lawson, with some additions, and edited by Leonie Rutherford, will be published by the Centre in 1993.
