Abstract

Commenting on the Ern Malley hoax, perpetrated by James McAuley and Harold Stewart, Prichard sees significance in its, "exposure of the morass into which anarchistic individualism of the Angry Penguins variety might have diverted some young people of talent." Accusing the Angry Penguins of "individualism and reactionary nationalism", Prichard envisages such philosophies being swept away by the "national and international struggle for realism and sanity".
