A report by the Editor
The Association for the Study of Australian Literature held its annual conference in Perth at the beginning of July. Readers of Margin will not be surprised to hear that I gave a paper on John Lang at the Conference. My paper was entitled 'The Five Ghosts of John Lang' and discussed the five earliest written versions of the legend of Fisher's Ghost of Campbelltown. In the paper I claimed that John Lang invented Fisher's Ghost in the first published account of the Ghost which appeared in Hill's Life in New South Wales in 1832 entitled 'The Sprite of the Creek'. Lang was a schoolboy of fifteen. I may publish the paper or part of it in Margin ...
