Search - List of Books by P. R. Stephensen
Percy Reginald Stephensen (20 November 1901—28 May 1965) was an Australian writer, publisher and political activist.
He was born in Maryborough, Queensland. He was nicknamed "Inky", and attended the University of Queensland. He gained a second-class honours degree in Modern Greats at Queen's College, Oxford where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar and also joined the university branch of the Communist Party with A. J. P. Taylor, Graham Greene and Tom Driberg, as an undercover agent for MI5.
His most significant work was The Foundations of Culture in Australia, which led to the foundation of the Jindyworobak Movement.
Between the world wars, his Fellowship of Australian Writers released a document that advocated disconection with the United States and stated, "US comics promoted demonology, witchcraft and voodooism, with superman part of a raving mad view of the world." And of American musicals and minstrel shows, "the American negro, with his jungle is not welcome here."
He was a member of the Australia First Movement whose magazine The Publicist he edited from 1941-1942. He was noted for his anti-semitic views.
Stephensen was a prolific author. He published over 30 books, as well as translations of works by Vladimir Lenin and Friedrich Nietzsche. He also produced nearly 70 books ghostwritten for Frank Clune.
He was interned without trial from 1942 to 1945 for pro-Japan and Axis sympathies.
