AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Rachael Mead, whose poetry and debut novel have received critical acclaim, has expanded her repertoire with the release of her second novel. The Art of Breaking Ice is a historical fiction inspired by the intriguing story of how Melbourne-based artist Nelle (Nel/Nellie) Isabel Law sailed to Antarctica in 1961, making her the first Australian woman to set foot on the continent and the first female artist in the world to work there. This novel is a significant addition both to Australian Antarctic literature and Antarctic literature written by and about women.' (Introduction)

    y separately published work icon JASAL vol. 24 no. 1 20 December 2024 29389497 2024 periodical issue 'JASAL has long provided an important platform for scholarly work exploring the diverse and dynamic traditions, voices, and methodologies shaping the nation’s literary landscape. This issue continues that tradition, featuring a diversity of voices that reflect on, engage with, and raise critical questions about contemporary conversations in the field of Australian literature. As we celebrate the continuing evolution of the field, and indeed the resilience of Australian literary studies, we also mark a significant transition in the journal’s leadership. This issue is the final one in which we, Robert Clarke and Victoria Kuttainen, serve as general editors. When we signed on at the beginning of 2022, we signalled that a healthy journal editorship should last no longer than three years. As we step down as general editors, we have also stepped up into other roles, with Robert as the Coordinator of the University of Tasmania Hedberg Writer- In-Residence program, and Victoria as the Centre Head of the new Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing.'
