This website would not have been possible without the pioneering work of a number of White devotees. Among them:

  • Geoffrey Dutton, who championed his work throughout White’s lifetime
  • May-Brit Akerholt, who championed his plays in a similar manner
  • Alan Lawson, responsible for Patrick White: A Bibliography (1974) and Patrick White: Selected Works (1994)
  • Brian Hubber and Vivian Smith‘s Patrick White: A Bibliography (2004), a highly useful source although it is filled with odd little errors. The The Tree of Man chapter alone contains several misspellings of reviewer names, typographical errors, and incorrect dates for reviews, while although there is at least one piece of miscellaneous writing included which was actually written by Randolph Stow. Additionally, it must have been aggravating for the editors to a) release their bibliography without access to some of the great online resources now available, and b) to discover only two years later the great trove of White’s manuscripts and papers!
  • And of course David Marr, who gave us not only a whopping collection of Marr’s letters but the definitive biography, and a gripping run of anecdotes and insights over the past three decades.(It’s sobering to think that Marr was already researching the great man when I was born, and has been interpreting White’s relationship to, and influence upon, our culture ever since.

Other key sources for this website include:

The excessively wonderful staff at the State Library of Victoria, State Library of South Australia, University of Melbourne library, and State Library of New South Wales, as well as The Australian National University.
