Answer 2

Banjo Paterson was a nationalist who believed in celebrating Australian culture and identity through his poetry and writing. He had a deep appreciation for the Australian landscape, folk traditions, and the bush way of life, which are reflected in his works. Additionally, he held a romanticized view of the outback and the ruggedness of the Australian frontier.

Answer 3

A.B. "Banjo" Paterson was passionately nationalistic, popular among many Australians in a fledgling country searching for its own identity apart from Britain. In 1890 he wrote "The Man From Snowy River", a poem which caught the heart of the nation for its sense of heroism and the way in which it put forward the concept of the "underdog" bettering all those who thought they were his superiors. This sort of writing underscored much of Paterson's work. Paterson was very much in favour of Australia being an autonomous nation, and that's why many of his heroes were from the among the "downtrodden". Unlike his contemporary Henry Lawson, Paterson presented a romanticised view of life in the bush, and many appreciated his larrikin wit more than Lawson's more realistic, drier view of life. There is little else to suggest Paterson's personal or religious beliefs. When he died, he was cremated with Presbyterian forms.

Answer 4

AB 'Banjo' Paterson was a famous Australian bush poet and author, known especially for his patriotism and the way his writing glorified the bush.

He was born not far from Orange, in New South Wales. He was a fully qualified solicitor by the age of 23. A scholarly and well-read person, Paterson began publishing his poetry in the Sydney edition of The Bulletin in 1885 under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", which was the name of one of his favourite horses.

In 1890 he wrote "The Man From Snowy River", a poem which caught the heart of the nation, and in 1895 had a collection of his works published under that name. This book is the most sold collection of Australian Bush Poetry and is still being reprinted today. A "bush balladeer", he was also the author of other well known poems such "Clancy of the Overflow", "Mulga Bill's Bicycle" and, of course, "Waltzing Matilda".
