Fact'ry 'ands
''Fact'ry 'ands'' is a 1906 collection of Australian short stories by Edward Dyson about people who work in a factory. The collection comprises 12 short stories, the bulk of which were originally published in ''The Bulletin'' magazine. They were based on Dyson's own experiences of factory work. Contents * "Benno's Little Boshter" * "A Question of Propriety" * " A Little Love Affair" * "The Morbid Boy" * "The Fat Girl" * "A Hot Day at Spats'" * "The Man-Eater" * "The Wooing of Minnie" * "Levi's Trousers" * "Spats' Cats" * "The Packer's 'Little Silly'" Critical reception The ''Sydney Morning Herald'' wrote "the characters in this interesting and entertaining book are capital company-to road about. We do not know that their conception of humour would be accepted in circles in real life that have any claim to refinement, and indeed' we are strongly tempted to believe that Mr. Dyson has attributed to them much of his own wit. The sketches are brimful of life." The stories were popu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward Dyson
Edward George Dyson (4 March 1865 – 22 August 1931), or 'Ted' Dyson, was an Australian journalist, poet, playwright and short story writer. He was the elder brother of illustrators Will Dyson (1880–1938) and Ambrose Dyson (1876–1913), with three sisters also of artistic and literary praise. Dyson wrote under several – some say many – nom-de-plumes, including Silas Snell. In his day, the period of Australia's federation, the poet and writer was "ranked very closely to Australia's greatest short-story writer, Henry Lawson". With Lawson known as the "swagman poet", Ogilvie the "horseman poet", Dyson was the "mining poet". Although known as a freelance writer, he was also considered part of '' The Bulletin'' writer group. Early life He was born at Morrison's Diggings near Ballarat in March 1865. His father, George Dyson, arrived in Australia in 1852 and after working on various diggings became a mining engineer. His mother, Jane, née Mayall, came from "a life ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Bulletin (Australian Periodical)
''The Bulletin'' was an Australian weekly magazine first published in Sydney on 31 January 1880. The publication's focus was politics and business, with some literary content, and editions were often accompanied by cartoons and other illustrations. The views promoted by the magazine varied across different editors and owners, with the publication consequently considered either on the left or right of the political spectrum at various stages in its history. ''The Bulletin'' was highly influential in Australian culture and politics until after the First World War, and was then noted for its nationalist, pro-labour, and pro-republican writing. It was revived as a modern news magazine in the 1960s, and after merging with the Australian edition of Newsweek in 1984 was retitled ''The Bulletin with Newsweek''. It was Australia's longest running magazine publication until the final issue was published in January 2008. Early history ''The Bulletin'' was founded by J. F. Archibald and ...
