''The Bulletin'' was an Australian magazine first published in Sydney on 31 January 1880. The publication's focus was politics and business, with some literary content, and editions were often accompanied by cartoons and other illustrations. The views promoted by the magazine varied across different editors and owners, with the publication consequently considered either on the left or right of the political spectrum at various stages in its history. ''The Bulletin'' was highly influential in Australian culture and politics until after the First World War, and was then noted for its nationalist, pro-labour, and pro-republican writing. It was revived as a modern news magazine in the 1960s, and was Australia's longest running magazine publication until the final issue was published in January 2008. ==Early history== ''The Bulletin'' was founded by J. F. Archibald and John Haynes, with the first issue being published in 1880. The original content of ''The Bulletin'' consisted of a mix of political comment, sensationalised news, and Australian literature.〔 In the early years, ''The Bulletin'' played a significant role in the encouragement and circulation of nationalist sentiments that remained influential far into the next century. Its writers and cartoonists regularly attacked the British, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Jews, and Aborigines. In 1886, editor James Edmond changed ''The Bulletin''s nationalist banner from "Australia for Australians" to "Australia for the White Man".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Bulletin )〕 An editorial, published in ''The Bulletin'' the following year, laid out its reasons for choosing such banners:〔''The Bulletin'', 2 July 1887〕 As ''The Bulletin'' evolved, it became known as a platform for young and aspiring writers to showcase their short stories and poems to large audiences. By 1890, it was the focal point of an emerging literary nationalism known as the "Bulletin School", and a number of its contributors, often called bush poets, have become giants of Australian literature. Notable writers associated with ''The Bulletin'' at this time include: * Barbara Baynton * George Lewis Becke * Christopher Brennan * Victor Daley * Frank Dalby Davison * C. J. Dennis * Edward Dyson * Joseph Furphy * Mary Gilmore * Henry Lawson * Dorothy Mackellar * John Shaw Neilson * Nettie Palmer * Vance Palmer * Banjo Paterson * Katherine Susannah Prichard * Steele Rudd * Ethel Turner In English author D. H. Lawrence's 1923 novel ''Kangaroo'', he writes of a character who reads ''The Bulletin'' and appreciates its straightforwardness and the "kick" in its writing: "It beat no solemn drums. It had no deadly earnestness. It was just stoical and spitefully humourous." In ''The Australian Language'' (1946), Sidney Baker wrote: "Perhaps never again will so much of the true nature of a country be caught up in the pages of a single journal". ''The Bulletin'' continued to support of the creation of a distinctive Australian literature into the 20th century, most notably under the editorship of Samuel Prior (1915–1933), who created the first novel competition.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bulletin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
