Summary "An Anthology of Australian Verse" by Bertram Stevens is a collection of poetry centered around Australian themes and experiences, crafted in the late 19th century. This anthology seeks to present the most notable poems inspired by the Australian landscape and the unique conditions of life within the continent, reflecting both the struggles and the beauty of the nation as it was emerging into its own literary identity. The opening of the anthology begins with a preface that outlines the editor's intent, emphasizing the youth of Australian literature and its early influences from British culture. Stevens discusses the various historical circumstances that shaped the poetry, from the struggles of early settlers to the gold rush that spurred literary development. The introductory section explains how these poets, though lacking in international recognition, provide a glimpse into the spirit of a nascent nation. The initial selection of poems includes works by significant figures such as William Charles Wentworth and Charles Harpur, showcasing themes of love, nature, and the unique Australian experience, setting the tone for the diversity and richness of the poetic tradition being presented.
