	Ern Malley Today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Now, after 59 quiet years, amid this refreshed interest in the Ern Malley affair, there has been a sudden challenge to the ownership of copyright for the Ern Malley poems from the Estates of the hoaxers.
		Copyright to the Ern Malley poems was presented as a gift to the publishers by Ern's sister Ethel in the initial submission of the poems to Angry Penguins.
		Ern Malley's poetry was concocted specifically to target and humilate Harris.

	Electronic Journal of Australian and New Zealand History:
		In covering the several bizarre aspects of the Ern Malley affair, particularly its final paradox - that Malley is now ensconced in the Australian literary canon - Heyward's knowledge of both Ern's literary heritage and his social milieu are well matched in a work in which one is aware of a lot going on.
		The Ern Malley affair is the play within the play of Australia's reactions to the warring literary movements of the twentieth century, against the backdrop of Australia's closest experience of actual armed conflict, albeit largely from the distance of the all-pervading suburban philistinism of the first half of the twentieth century.
		Ern's reality is asserted in the first chapter by extending the original persona of a small player in the drama, his sister Ethel.

	Ern Malley - Cleverpedia, the ultimate encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ern Malley, a fiktionaler poet, was the central figure in the most well-known falsification of the Australian literature and became one of the most well-known names in the history of the national poetry.
		It regarded Ern Malley as a poet of the class of a W. to H. Auden or Dylan Thomas.
		Ern Malley was not under any circumstances the last notorious falsification, which arose in of Australia literary community, the youngest is probably Helen Demidenko and - still in the determination - Norma Khouri.

		Socially an outcast and surrounded by a world dominated by the Ethel Malley type, with their limited intellectual horizons and sanctimonious malice, Ern Malley became the symbol of the creative spirit at odds with a materialist world, a world in which he is always an itinerant, an outsider and a sacrifice.
		The words of Ern Malley appear incised into the surface of many of the vessels, and as with the lyrics there is apparent that conflict between the trembling timidity, the desire to define an existence, and the brutality of being.
		Ern Malley caught the flame and became a torch bearer for creative freedom and as Henry Miller once famously remarked, in reference to inspiration by a great writer: "The only way to do justice to a man like him who gave so much, is to give another creation...

	Ern Malley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ernest Lalor "Ern" Malley (April 14, 1918 - July 23, 1943) was a fictional poet and the central figure in Australia's most celebrated literary hoax.
		According to the "biography" of Malley constructed by his inventors (James McAuley and Harold Stewart) Malley was born Ernest Lalor Malley in Liverpool in 1918 and migrated to Australia as a child with his parents and his older sister, Ethel.
		Ern Malley, he thought, was a poet in the same class as W.

		Ern relates the bare facts about the circumstances in which he grew up in a tone of oblique yearning and incipient shame that passes over the detail of what must have been an exacting childhood.
		Ern and Lois smoke cigarettes—Craven A—together down by the water and she confesses that her marriage is unhappy.
		Ern Malley’s time in Melbourne is poorly documented and the memoir does not add much to the story in terms of objective fact.

	Jacket 17 - David Lehman - The Ern Malley Poetry Hoax - Introduction
		Ern (she wrote) had been born in England in 1918, was taken to Australia after his father’s death two years later, and was left in Ethel’s care after their mother died when he was fifteen.
		The Ern Malley affair was the century’s greatest literary hoax not because it completely hoodwinked Harris and not because it triggered off a story so rich in ironies and reversals.
		It was the greatest hoax because the creation of Ern Malley escaped the control of his creators and enjoyed an autonomous existence beyond, and at odds with, the critical and satirical intentions of McAuley and Stewart.

	Evatt Foundation: Publication: Tabloid TV meets the ghost of Ern Malley - 12 March 2002
		Unlike the Ern Malley affair, where the publishers of the fake poems surrendered to their humiliation with a degree of defensive grace, the television producers mixed their stiff upper lips with a hostility that left no doubt about how much fun the big fish were having on the end of the Dole Army's hook.
		Whereas the Ern Malley poems had sparked a battle royal between the supporters and critics of the avant-garde periodical that published them, Angry Penguins, the executive producers of the two duped television programs declined to be interviewed on the substantive issues raised by the Dole Army's hoax.
		In short, the Ern Malley affair was a brilliant, audacious but reactionary stunt that would fit snugly with today's attacks on 'the elites'; a political stance that in retrospect appears to have anticipated how McAuley would soon shed his anarchist inclinations and become the founding editor of Quadrant.

		Ern Malley prepared for his death quietly confident that he was a great poet, and that he would be known as such.
		This is the task Malley set himself as he deliberately invoked death upon himself to provide the deepening and consummating forces of poetic experience.
		Malley approached poetry with a tremendous sense of the imoprt [sic]of what he was doing.

	The Ern Malley Affair - Michael Heyward
		Ern Malley is one of the greatest and most consequential literary hoaxes ever perpetrated.
		In 1944 these Ern Malley poems were published in Angry Penguins, in an issue commemorating the great Australian poet (with a Sidney Nolan picture inspired by the poems on the cover).
		The Ern Malley hoax is also an Australian story, and the literary scene of the time (and the glee with which the hoax was greeted) is also nicely conveyed.

		Ern Malley was the creation of two poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, who wanted to show up what they regarded as the insufferable pretensions of an Australian literary magazine called Angry Penguins.
		That would be it, except for the bewildering irony that the Ern Malley poems aren't nearly as bad and incoherent as their authors suggested.
		Amongst those taken in by Ern was Australia's greatest modern painter, Sidney Nolan, who (perhaps rightly) said that it didn't matter whether the poems were "authentic" or not, so long as they worked on some level.

		It might be argued that the Malley affair gives a foretaste of the navel-gazing propensities of the poetry world which the general public have subsequently given the cold shoulder.
		One would have thought the Ern Malley character and his literary works might have died off subsequent to the revelations of the hoax, but such has not been the case.
		The last words in the suite of sixteen poems that comprise the Ern Malley legacy are ‘Beyond is anything.’ This was meant, I guess, as a last mordant commentary by the originators of the hoax on the perceived hopelessness of the Modernist cause.

		Ern Malley was invented to prove a point about the development of contemporary poetry, and he did it decisively, or so it seemed at the time; but half a century later the issues the hoax raises about literary value are far from being resolved.
		He grew besotted with Ern Malley, who turned out to be a loopy, uneven writer, but with undeniable energy and elusive intelligence.
		Had Ern Malley really existed Harris's response would have been excessive; but in the circumstances, it was disastrous.

		Learning of this decision, the trustees of the Max Harris estate seek an injunction against their publication under the name `Ern Malley', claiming that the poems bring into discredit the established oeuvre of Ern Malley poems and thus incur losses both to individual finances and public culture.
		The original genesis of the first and only set of Ern Malley poems is consensually agreed to be the work of the two poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart.
		To grant Ern Malley some independent status as a literary author with intellectual rights is a ridiculous piece of Mickey Mouse foolery.

		The Writings of Ern Malley were the bullets of McAuley and Stewart, fired at a literary “fashion” with the intent to reveal inauthenticity.
		We should object to the Malley and LeRoy scenarios of interpretation morally, because to approach literature without a care to its source is to forfeit the role of writing in the sharedness of experience.

		When Ern Malley went off to war he had no idea that his his artistic endeavours would one day become so influential on the direction of Australian artistic endeavour.
		As an unpretentious artist from the bush, Ern Malley never dreamed that he would represent so many of the qualities deemed worthy of public support and funding in Australia.
		Ern Malley was therefore one of the first to make his way onto our list of 200 significant and influential Australians.

		Ern’s last weeks were terrible, but the crisis came suddenly and he died of Graves’ Disease on Friday 23rd July 1943, at the age of twenty-five.
		The whole of Ern Malley’s life-work was produced in one afternoon with the aid of a chance collection of books — some dictionaries, a Shakespeare, and so on.
		John Thompson: It is at this point, I think, that the Ern Malley affair becomes most interesting, but before we try to determine the significance of the poems, we must glance for a while at the next development, which was something that nobody had been able to foresee.

		Ern was born one desultory afternoon in 1944 in the Victoria Barracks in Melbourne and died the same afternoon of Graves' disease, aged 25.
		The fact that the poems were a hoax perpetrated on Australian literary pretensions by Ern's cynical parents, poet James McAuley and novelist Harold Stewart, guaranteed that.

		All the principal players in the Ern Malley saga were in their twenties.
		You've got to admit that Ern Malley, who copped some pretty heavy flak in his time, is much the better writer.
		Part of the cunning that stumped Harris was the fact that Malley sounded like a real poet, and part of the reason that he did was that he pinched real poetry.

		The story of the Ern Malley affair is a fascinating one that looms large in Australian cultural history and made news around the world.

		Ern Malley, ein fiktionaler Dichter, war die zentrale Figur in der bekanntesten Fälschung der australischen Literatur und wurde einer der bekanntesten Namen in der Geschichte der nationalen Poesie.
		Andere begannen zu fragen, wer dieser Ern Malley sei und warum niemand zuvor etwas von ihm gehört hatte.
		Ern Malley war keinesfalls die letzte notorische Fälschung, die in Australiens literarischer Gemeinschaft auftrat, die jüngsten sind wahrscheinlich Helen Demidenko und - noch in der Ermittlung - Norma Khouri.

		'Ern Malley', deceased motor mechanic and poet, was the invention of two Sydney poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, both intent on proving that modern poetry was a sham.
		The work of Malley comprised lines and words selected particularly, from Shakespeare to an American report on the breeding grounds of mosquitoes.

		The first case I want to mention is that of Ern Malley, the poet invented in 1943 by James McAuley and Harold Stewart, two soldiers intent on discrediting Australian literature's fledgling modernist movement.
		The Malley poems were fired off to Penguins along with a letter from Malley's sister lamenting her brother's untimely demise from Graves' disease in a working class suburb of Melbourne.
		The Malley hoax was a polemical exercise - an unusual way of making a heartfelt argument against modernism and in favour of a conservative style of writing and a conservative view of the world.

		They fabricated the 16 poems making up the collected works of est Lalor Malley in one aftoon, imitating the mod poets they most despised and lifting lines at random from books on their desks, as well as mixing in false allusions and misquotations.

		The "Ern Malley affair" was a famous literary hoax in 1940s Australia - without doubt, the greatest literary hoax of all time.
		There was no Ern, and no Ethel either - Ern's "works of genius" had been cobbled together in an afternoon by two traditionalist poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, in an attempt to discredit the avant-garde.
		With Malley, we are by no means a world away from "exquisite corpse" poems, from The Waste Land (that great modernist echo chamber of allusions), from the cut-ups and fold-ins of Brion Gysin and William Burroughs, from the whole panoply of surrealist techniques.
