Beatrice Davis, 1909-1992, was general editor at Angus and Robertson the main
Australian publishing company from 1937 to 1973. There she discovered and
published such writers as Thea Astley, Miles Franklin, Patricia Wrightson,
Xavier Herbert, and Hal Porter, becoming a literary tastemaker in the process. A
central figure in Australian literature-"respected, feared, courted and
berated." Originally published to great acclaim in 2001, A Certain Style
introduced this stylish and formidable woman to thousands of readers and told a
history of books and publishing in twentieth-century Australia. This reissue has
a new introduction and updates throughout as the author presents a compelling
account of a contradictory woman and her times.
