Bertram Stevens (critic)

During this time Stevens worked as a freelance journalist, coming into contact with a number of literary figures, he edited My Sundowner and other Poems (1904) by John Farrell with a memoir.

In the same year he had the difficult task of succeeding Alfred Stephens as editor of the 'Red Page' of The Bulletin.

In 1916 Stevens was one of the founders and joint-editor (with Sydney Ure Smith) of Art in Australia until his death.

Much of his literary work is listed in Serle's Bibliography of Australasian Poetry and Verse and Miller's Australian Literature.

[1] Stevens was deeply involved with attempts at rehabilitating Henry Lawson at Yanco, New South Wales and Edwin Brady's property at Mallacoota, Victoria.
