PART II. On Colonial / Post-Colonial Australian Literary And Dramatic Texts: Notes By Craig Steven Joseph Lacey, Circa June 2023.

1.0: Blog's Title: PART II. On Colonial / Post-Colonial Australian Literary And Dramatic Texts: Notes By Craig Steven Joseph Lacey, Circa June 2023 To July 2023.
☆☆☆
2.0: Edward Bulwer-Lytton25 May 1803, London, England to: 18 January 1873 (aged 69), Torquay, England, who was the Colonial Secretary of State, 1858–1859still remembered for coining phrases: "the pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword" and "dweller on the threshold": Edmund Bulwer-Lytton was definitely 19th-century literature's "Forgotten Man", until he was resurrected by Joseph Conrad's mentioning of him as the author of choice for "the children of the sea": the folk who crewed the clipper-ships during the last third of the nineteenth century. Nine texts of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's are listed directly beneath, from a large œuvre, and a text on literary criticism regarding Edward Bulwer-Lytton's texts.

2.2: Eugene Aram, circa 1832in three volumes; A. J. And J. Harper, First American edition, Volume One: 219 pages, Volume Two: 207 pages, 12mo, 7" x 7½".
2.3: The Last Days Of Pompeii, circa 1834in three volumes; A. a Project Gutenberg of Australia e-book reference: 1401241h.html, first posted: circa March 2014 and most recent up-date: circa Mar 2014.
2.4: Harold, The Last Of The Saxon Kings, circa 1848; A. circa 1865,
Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott And Company, 402 pages.
2.5: The Caxtons, A Family Picture, circa 1849; A. circa 1849, Edinburgh: W. Blackwood, 326 pages; B. 1 December 2013, Start Classics, 597 pages, ISBN-13: 9781627939089.
2.6: My Novel, circa 1853; A. 26 November 2004, e-book number: 7714, 
copy-right status: Public domain in the United States Of America. 
2.7: A Strange Story, Complete, circa 1862; A. Project Gutenberg e-book number: 7701, release: 16 March 2009, last up-dated: 28 August 2016.
2.8Vril: The Power Of The Coming Race, circa May 1871; A. William Blackwood And Sons, hard-cover, 292 pages, OCLC: 7017241. 
2.9: Rienzi, The Last Of The Roman Tribunes, circa 1835that was adapted in to opera, viz. Rienzi, Der Letzte Der Tribunen, circa 1842, by Richard Wagner; A. circa 1835, New York: A.L. Burt, 448 pages.
2.10A Dark And Stormy Œuvre: Crime, Magic And Power In The Novels Of Edward Bulwer-Lytton, circa 2015by David Huckvale; A. 
11 December 2015, McFarland, 264 pages, ISBN-10: 1476622795, ISBN-13: 9781476622798.
3.0: Anna Maria Bunn, circa 1808, Ireland to: 19 September 1889, St.Omer, New South Wales, Australia: Anna Maria Bunn's text of circa 1838 is the first Australian novel printed and published within main-land Australia, viz. at Sydney. Further, the text is known as the first Australian novel written by a woman, however, the claims are made doubtfully. Anna Maria Bunn, a some-what contrived sounding name, is not listed in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. There appears to be no LCCN or ISBN registration numbers for Anna Maria Bunn's text. To make a leap of connection on her text: The Guardian: A Tale, circa 1838, given the similarity of the title of the texts, the so-called more recent text: The Guardian: A Tale Of Andrew Murray, circa 2014, by the British-Columbian author, Jack Whyte, circa 1940-, could be an edited version of the Scottish history that Anna Maria Bunn or another author, for example Catherine Spence, has written—due to the large number of Scots in Australia during the 19th-century, but that is a point made irrespective of the fact, Anna Maria Bunn is noted to have been born in Ireland. The hypothesis is that Jack Whyte, with Australian ties, has illegally re-published, editing and ghost-writing to re-fashion the narrative, such as by being a text published by a man instead of by a woman, or a fictional text, (of the ilk of George R.R. Martin's Game Of Thrones series), instead of an historical text. The text allegedly by Jack Whyte is Scottish with nationalistic sympathies—instead of English or the supposedly united British. It remains a point of contention in Australia, where the English are considered the discoverers and owners of the "Great Southern Land", when such titles are more truthfully credited to the Scots, the inclusion of Jack Whyte's home, Canada, is recognition Australia was part Nova Scotia, a generic title further shared with regions of the United States Of America, Mexico and South America. Such history is greater than a hoax and fraud of publishing and contest between Scottish and English, because the invention and use of hand-held rifles and pistols is further thought to be properly Scottish—or should I write: "Shottish"?, a fact of which others, possibly of the fire-brand Asian back-grounds, aim to keep either wrongly accredited or a matter of stum.
3.1: The Guardian: A Tale, circa 1838; A. Sydney: printed by J. Spilsbury, 405 pages, 20 centimeters; B. 1 January 1994, Canberra: Mulini Press, 152 pages, ASIN: ‎B0034LPB0G—this text is listed by the National Library of Australia.

11.8: Xanthosia Atkinsonia was described circa 1861 by Ferdinand von Mueller, but the botanist's approach to naming a species of plant arguably over-looks the poetic qualities of it, such as in this case, the flower resembles four white angels on a cross; the four Evangelists viz. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and four corners or winds of the world. The specific epithet, atkinsoniana, honours Louisa Atkinson who collected the specimen type: "In montibus coeruleis Novae Austro-Cambriae prope amnem Grose stirpem detexerunt L. Atkinson et W. Woolls"; allegedly L.Atkinson and W.Woolls discovered the plant near the Grose River atthe Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

2.0: George Howe, circa 1769, Saint Kitts, West Indies, to: 11 May 1821, Sydney, New South Wales: George Howe worked at the Government Press at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and compiled Australia's first-ever book: New South Wales General Standing Orders, circa 1802. Further, George Howe printed Australia's first periodical: The Australian Magazine; Or, Compendium Of Religious, Literary, And Miscellaneous Intelligence, circa 1821 and Australia's first book of poetry: First Fruits Of Australian Poetry, circa 1819, that contains two poems by the judge, Barron Field. George Howe fostered literature in Australia: before circa 1810 greater than forty poems, many of which he himself authored, were printed. During Governor Lachlan Macquarie's administration, George Howe printed a further seventy poems, such as the odes of Michael Robinson. George Howe printed in Australia, the hymn-book: An Abridgment Of The Wesleyan Hymns, selected from the larger English-printed hymn-book of circa 1821, and the Church of England hymn-book: Select Portions Of The Psalms Of David Etc., circa 1828. George Howe printed the first volume of verse: Wild Notes From The Lyre Of A Native Minstrel, circa 1826, by an Australian native-born, author: Charles Tompson Junior. Consequently, George Howe may genuinely be considered the "Father of Australian Literature".
2.1: New South Wales General Standing Orders, circa 1802—Governor Philip Gidley King instructed the government printer, managed by George Howe, to print in a single book, a selection of eight-hundred General Orders, issued from 16 February 1791 to 6 September 1800.
2.2: There are three extant copies, two of which are respectively held at: The State Library of New South Wales and The British Library.
2.3: Whatever literary efforts there were during the start of 19th-century Australia, nothing was printed except some official documents, until after the establishment circa 1803 of the Sydney Gazette And New South Wales Advertiser, of which George Howe was the editor.
