SUMMARY:Eleven Letters To You
DESCRIPTION:Box Hill Historical Society kicks off 2024 with a talk by prominent literary critic\, journalist and author Helen Elliott. Helen spent some time working in the Box Hill Library\, commencing in 1965. She will speak of her memories of Box Hill. Copies of her memoir\, Eleven Letters to You\, will be available for sale at the meeting.\n\n\n\nSunday 18 February 2024 @ 2pm\nBert Lewis Room\, 1st floor\, Box Hill Library\, 1040 Whitehorse Rd\, Box Hill.\nGold coin donation\n\n\n\n“Helen Elliott\, well known as a literary critic and journalist\, grew up in Boronia in the 1950s and 1960s\, a time when it was in transition from countryside to suburbia. Out on the edge of Melbourne and at the very foot of the Dandenongs it was a setting that promised a new post-war life for returned servicemen and their young families as well as migrants. This very different memoir\, styled as 11 letters to the neighbours\, relatives teachers and friends\, brings to life a very different time. Elliott’s recollections are sharp and poignant as she seeks out those parts of her upbringing and education that shaped her at a time of rapid social change.” Review by John Schauble in RHSV’s History News\n\n\n\nHelen’s book was entered in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and the Victorian Community History Awards.\n\n\n\nPublished by Text Publishing

SUMMARY:Box Hill Library - some beginnings.
DESCRIPTION:Prominent literary critic and author Helen Elliott worked in the Box Hill Library from 1964 -19169 when it was a small rectangular building in the middle of Whitehorse road. There were perhaps 20 staff. All female. The Chief Librarian was a man Bert Lewis.\nIn her recent Memoir\, Eleven Letters to You\, Elliott devotes two of the eleven letters to people at the library in those years. Helen Garner called Elliott’s book: “A quietly ecstatic work of memory – intense\, witty\, beautiful.” Biographer Brenda Niall called it “A rare feat of imagination and memory\, Louise Adler called it “deeply evocative\, with the humanity of Facey’s A Fortunate Life\, written on the little piece of ivory favoured by Jane Austen.”.\nElliott has invented a new form of memoir\, full of detailed social history and addressed to people she loved and honoured all those years ago. Box Hill\, over half a century ago was a world now as lost and seemingly as long ago as the Eighteenth Century. .She will speak in detail about those days\, those times\, that other world.
