1 Branded by Fire : Postcolonial Naming in Shirley Hazzard's The Great Fire Christine De Vinne , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , December vol. 28 no. 2 2014; (p. 289-299, 535)
'The US edition of Shirley Hazzard's The Great Fire is spangled with flames and names. Despite its dramatic cover, Hazzard's novel has largely escaped critical attention. Although applauded for her profound sensitivity and emotional microscopy, Hazzard wins less acclaim than one might expect. Here, De Vinne examines Hazzard's The Great Fire.' (Publication summary)
