Looking For Donnelly

The first day of January 2001 marks the centenary of federation but it also marks the centenary of the death of the American populist Ignatius Donnelly whose novel "Caesar's Column" was widely read in the Australian labour movement in the 1890s and beyond.

With a view to writing an article to mark the Donnelly centenary I am inquiring as to whether any reader of "Workers Online" has any information relating to Donnelly and his influence in Australia that would not be readily obtainable through my archival or library research. I am also interested in purchasing a copy of "Caesar's Column" if a second hand copy is available at a reasonable price.

In relation to all things Donnellian I may be contacted at GPO Box 2836, Canberra, Act 2601.

Review: Elliott Smiths Figure 8
