'In 1813, Ludwig Leichhardt was born in Trebatsch, in the Prussian Province of Brandenburg. Between 1831 and 1836, Leichhardt studied philosophy, language, and natural sciences at the Universities of Gottingen and Berlin. He moved to England in 1837, where he continued his study of the natural sciences. As an explorer and keen natural scientist, Ludwig Leichhardt moved to Sydney, Australia, in February 1842, intending to explore inland Australia and hopeful of a government appointment in his fields of interest. Leichhardt went to the Hunter River valley, north of Sydney, to study the geology, flora, and fauna of the region, and to observe farming methods. He then set out on his own on a specimen-collecting journey that took him from Newcastle, in New South Wales, to Moreton Bay, in Queensland. Leichhardt was also determined to be the first to cross the Australian continent from east to west. His personality, dauntless courage, cultivated manners, appreciation of nature and of the unfamiliar culture of the Aboriginals, and his love for his adopted country, made him a 'hero of romance' and the 'Prince of Explorers.' This book on Leichhardt's life - drawn from his letters, journals, log books, and personal diaries (about 1,900 pages of previously unpublished text) - also describe his years in Europe. The book contains maps, photographs, and illustrations, including many by the explorer and surveyor John Frederick Mann.' (Publication summary)
1 2 y separately published work icon Myths of Wilderness in Contemporary Narratives : Environmental Postcolonialism in Australia and Canada Kylie Crane , Basingstoke New York (City) : Palgrave Macmillan , 2012 6875632 2012 multi chapter work criticism

'The concept of "wilderness" as a foundational idea for environmentalist thought and writing has become the subject of vigorous debates over the last two decades. This book offers a carefully articulated taxonomy of the forms that wilderness writing has taken in recent Australian and Canadian literature, expanding on this work in unusual ways by re-emphasizing both country's origins as colonies. In its combination of ecocriticism, postcolonialism, and cultural geography, Crane makes an important and original contribution to current ecocritical research.' (Publisher's blurb)

1 The Beat of the Land : Place and Music in Tim Winton's Dirt Music Kylie Crane , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Zeitschrift fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik , vol. 54 no. 1 2006; (p. 21-32) 'The title of Tim Winton's 2001 novel Dirt Music reveals one of the central binaries at work within: Dirt, or place, presence, nature on the one hand, and Music, or emotions, past culture in the other. Dirt Music, set in Western Australia, revolves around the love story between Georgie Jutland and Lu(ther) Fox. Lu, a folk guitarist, retreats from society after the tragic death of his family, who also formed his band. During his stay in the deserted North Australian coastal region, he experiments with the possibilities of living - and making music - outside of cultural constraints. The emphasis in this paper will be on how the two factors of dirt and music interplay within the construction of his identity. The novel proposes a perspective on music that eventually offers a reconciliation of the alienation of man's identity between nature and culture.' (Author's abstract)
