MANN, LEONARD

Furthermore

During the 1930s Mann developed important literary connections with writers including Vance and Nettie Palmer and Frank Dalby Davison. Foundation president (1938) of the P.E.N. Club (Melbourne), and an active member of the Victorian section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers from its inception in the same year, he soon became an influential figure in his own right. As president (1947-48) of the Victorian FAW he issued The Robert Close and Georgian House Case (1948), a pamphlet discussing writers and the law in the light of Close’s Love Me Sailor (1945) obscenity trial.
