MS 6201 Papers of Katharine Susannah Prichard
- 1851-1970
- 3.4 metres (24 boxes)
- Available for reference
The bulk of this collection was sold to the National Library in 1990 by
Prichard's son Ric Throssell. Although the collection did not become the
property of the National Library until 1990, it has been physically stored in
the Library since 1980 when it was given the accession number MS 6201. Between
1980 and 1991 the collection had an interim arrangement which was controlled by
means of a despatch inventory. During this time the collection was used by some
researchers who had obtained access permission from Ric Throssell.
At the same time as it purchased the Prichard collection the Library
also purchased Throssell's own personal papers (MS
8071). Because Throssell had had possession of his mother's papers since
her death in 1969, and had used them when writing his biography Wild weeds and
wind flowers, the two sets of papers suffered a degree of intermingling and
reorganisation. In sorting the two collections estrays from both collections
had to be relocated into the other collection. For instance, the Prichard
consignment as valued contained over one thousand letters to Ric Throssell
(1943-69). These were shifted into the Throssell Papers (MS 8071, Series 7).
While the original order of the Prichard collection had been greatly disturbed,
where it was discernible it has been retained. The series divisions have been
artificially devised by staff of the Manuscript Section.
This collection also incorporates a consignment of papers which
Prichard donated to the Library in 1969. This material, which had previously
been accessioned at MS 1094, consisted largely of corrected typescripts of her
published works (now located in Series 3,4,6,8 and 9) and some printed material
(now in Series 14). This earlier consignment has been microfilmed (Mfm
G11,726-G11,730).
According to Ric Throssell, his mother destroyed most of her
unpublished manuscripts in addition to those letters which she regarded as
purely personal. After her death Throssell, following his mother's
instructions, burnt the remainder of her unpublished manuscripts and strictly
personal correspondence.
The 1990 consignment of this collection also included a number of tape
recordings, mostly of family communications. These have been transferred to the
Library's Oral History collection.
Biographical Note Katharine Susannah Prichard was born
in Levuka, Fiji in 1883, the daughter of Tom Prichard, Editor of the Fiji
Times. She grew up in Tasmania and then Melbourne, matriculating from South
Melbourne College. After working as a governess in South Gippsland and the far
west of New South Wales, she returned to Melbourne to teach. During this time
she attended night lectures in English literature where she was taught by
Walter Murdoch.
In 1908 she travelled to London, working as a freelance journalist for
the Melbourne Herald and, on her return, worked as the social editor of
the Herald's women's page. In 1912 she again left for England to pursue
a career as a writer. During her four years in England she published two
novels, The Pioneers (1915) and Windlestraws (1916), and met the
Australian Victoria Cross winner, Captain Hugo Throssell. In 1919 she married
Throssell and moved to Western Australia. By then she was a committed Communist
and, in 1920, she became a founding member of the Communist Party of Australia.
In 1922 she gave birth to her only son Ric Throssell.
While she was on a trip to the Soviet Union in 1933 her husband committed
suicide.
From the 1920s until her death in 1969 she lived at Greenmount, Western
Australia, earning her living as a writer of novels, short stories and plays.
Her novels include Black Opal, 1921; Working Bullocks, 1926;
The Wild Oats of Han, 1928; Coonardoo, 1928; Haxby's
Circus, 1929; Intimate Stangers, 1939; and the goldfields trilogy
The Roaring Nineties, 1946; Golden Miles, 1948; and Winged
Seeds, 1950. Prichard remained a member of the Communist Party of Australia
until her death, with her political concerns being reflected in most of her
published work. Her novels were published throughout the world and translated
into numerous languages. In 1951 her international stature was recognised when
she was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
