'As a great research scholar of Henry Lawson, Christopher Lee’s City Bushman: Henry Lawson and Australia Imagination presents us a deep and profound research into the forming process of Lawson’s classic status in Australian literary history from four perspectives with accuracy and academia: "Early Reputation", "Posthumously Memorialisation", "Canonisation", and "Local Use of Celebrity". In addition, this book also illustrates deeply how Lawson has been influencing the development of Australian literature and culture from Lawson’s time to the present. The insightful new study of Henry Lawson’s canonical status is a contribution to the study of Henry Lawson and to the study of Australian Nationalism.
