ADDITION 19/11/1997
SERIES 5. Tasma: the life of Jessie Couvreur
Tasma
Material collected by Patricia Clarke for a biography of Tasma (Jessie
Huybers/Fraser/Couvreur) (1848-1897), novelist, short story writer, newspaper
columnist, London Times foreign correspondent. Born Jessie Huybers in
London, 1848, Tasma lived in Hobart from 1852 to her marriage in 1867 to
Charles Fraser of Kyneton, Victoria. She spent 1873-75 in Europe with her
mother Charlotte Huybers, then after returning briefly to Kyneton left her
husband to return to Europe. She kept herself by contributing regular articles
and short stories to the Melbourne Australasian and other periodicals
and annuals and by lecturing on Australia to Geographical Societies in France
and Belgium. In 1883 she returned to Melbourne to divorce Charles Fraser later
marrying Auguste Couvreur, former vice-president Belgian Chamber of
Representatives, and Brussels correspondent of the London Times. In 1889
her first novel Uncle Piper of Pipers Hill was published, followed
by A Sydney Sovereign, In Her Earliest Youth, The Penance of Portia James, A
Knight of the White Feather, Not Counting the Cost, and A Fiery
Ordeal. After the death of her husband she became Brussels correspondent of
the London Times.
Her sister Maria Therese, married to Portuguese painter Arthur Loureiro,
was art critic for the Melbourne Age and contributed regular columns to
the womens page; her sister Edith Huybers, married first to French
sculptor/wood carver Jean Reverdy, then to Italo-American sculptor Pierre
Valerio, was associated with the Decadent movement in Paris in the 1880s where
she was art critic for the London Spectator and Universal Review
later wrote for Art in America. Her brother John Huybers was an artist
who exhibited at the Paris Salon and the London Marlborough Gallery and was an
artist on the Pall Mall Gazette, later an artist and writer in Greece
and the United States.
Much of the material was collected through descendants of Tasmas
sister, Maria Therese Loureiro (Dr Renée Erdos), and her brother William
Huybers (Dr Kenneth Huybers and Mrs Enid Jones)
Tasma. The Life of Jessie Couvreur by Patricia Clarke was
published by Allen and Unwin (Sydney) in 1994 and Tasmas Diaries
edited by Patricia Clarke was published by Mulini Press (Canberra) in 1996.
