['Phoenix']

Edité par Adelaide University Union, Adelaide, 1935

Adelaide, Adelaide University Union, 1935 to 1948, and Adelaide University Students' Representative Council, 1949. Large octavo (1939 and 1949) and octavo (the other six volumes), ranging from 60 to 110 pages with illustrations plus plates (in the pre-war years and 1949). Overlapping black card covers printed in red and yellow (1935-48), and flush-cut three-colour wrappers (1949); minimal signs of age and use, with a few minor blemishes (1935: front cover creased, foot of the front joint a little split, with trifling loss to the ends of the spine and rear top corner; 1938: head of the front joint split; 1946: covers rubbed at the extremities); overall, in excellent condition. 'Phoenix' supplanted 'The Adelaide University Magazine'; in turn, it was supplanted by 'Angry Penguins' during the war years. The post-war issues generally do not compare with those from the 1930s, which contain illustrations (often linocuts or woodcuts) by Dorrit Black, John Dowie, May Voke and Rex Wood, and literary contributions by Max Harris, Flexmore Hudson, Rex Ingamells, Geraldine Jay, Charles Jury, Donald Kerr and Paul Pfeiffer (among others). The issue for 1949 is the post-war stand-out, with contributions by Andrew Abbie, Brian Elliott, Max Harris, Charles Jury, Hal Porter, Orde Poynton, Thorburn Brailsford Robertson and Geoff Wilson (assorted artwork, including the front cover).
