"1900 - 1999" . . "Angus & Robertson" . . . . . . "History" . "Beatrice Davis, 1902-1992, was Australia's most acclaimed book editor. As general editor at Angus and Robertson from the late thirties to the early seventies, she nurtured the talents of a host of well-known writers, including Thea Astley, Miles Franklin, Xavier Herbert, Ruth Park, Hal Porter and Patricia Wrightson. Her position as a judge of several major prizes reinforced her pivotal role in Australia's literary culture - a role that saw her by turns respected, feared, courted and berated. Jacqueline Kent's witty biography portrays a woman whose passion for living was as great as her passion for Australian literature."@en . . . . . . . . . . .
