Lawson and Co.

People, things and events directly and indirectly associated with Louisa and Henry Lawson, and the radical, feminist, artistic and ratbag scene of Australia in their time. Many names were friends and colleagues of the Lawsons; others are associated by being contemporaries and in Australia, but didn't meet them. Some items contemporaneous and just out of interest.

*A few of these people in the Book of Days, such as Russell, are considered C20 people, but my criterion is progressives who lived at least ten or 15 years in the C19. Also, progressive credentials might be debatable, as in the cases of such as HP Blavatsky, H George, I Donnelly, Emile Henry and HL Mencken, but they have traits that I think make them worthy of inclusion. Wilberforce helped smash the slave trade of Britain, but was reactionary in many other ways, eg, on women's rights, and he opposed the French Revolution. Due to space limitations, this list is far from complete; for example, I've scarcely touched upon the visual arts, but had to put Hugo Ball in because he's incredibly cool. Some, I have no time for (vide Crowley). Use Search for many more. Also, see Lawson & Co above for such people (mostly Aussies and mostly progressives) who had some link to the Lawsons.
