AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This essay is about Elizabeth Jolley's Vera trilogy : the novels My Father's Moon, Cabin Fever, and The Georges' Wife. These novels, seen as the most autobiographical of Jolley's works, were published in 1989, 1990, and 1993 respectively, but they were written, at least in part in early draft, much earlier. Jolley's unusual publishing trajectory means that her work did not appear in the order of its writing, and there remains a lack of clarity as to what that order actually is. Further, she drafted and re-drafted her writing, with phrases, scenes, motifs, images, events, and characters or character-types appearing and re-appearing across various works, of different forms and genres...' (From author's introduction, 194)
