1 The Randolph Stow Memorial Lecture Andrew Lynch , 2019 single work criticism
— Appears in: Westerly , vol. 64 no. 1 2019; (p. 142-150)
'It’s a great honour for me to be asked to give this memorial lecture for Randolph Stow. Thanks to the Westerly Centre and the Festival for inviting me. Stow’s writing has been a part of my life since my early twenties, when I was given the Penguin To the Islands (1962) as a birthday present. I didn’t know then that when Stow wrote it he was the same age as me reading it, or that it was his third published novel. After that, I read The Merry-go-Round in the Sea (1965) and Tourmaline (1963). Then in my early years here at the University of Western Australia (UWA) I first read two more: Visitants (1979) and The Girl Green as Elderflower (1980). Quite a few years later, after many re-readings, I think of Stow as a great artist, a poet amongst the English-language novelists of his time.' (Introduction)

— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , October - November vol. 26 no. 3-4 2011; (p. 36-53)
'Lynch's exploration of nineteenth-century Australian burlesque argues that while colonial Australia participated in a larger irreverent, comic culture of popular medievalism, its apparent irreverence toward the Middle Ages sometimes in fact belied a nagging sense that modern Australian public life could only be a base parody of an illustrious European past ('Medievalism, Nationalism, Colonialism', p.4)

— Review of The Slap Christos Tsiolkas , 2008 single work novel

'FOR ME, it was the interview with Christos Tsiolkas on ABC’s Lateline – in place of the ubiquitous parliamentarian or the occasional policy wonk – that confirmed the position of his award-winning book, The Slap, in the zeitgeist. That may seem strange, since plenty of people were already talking and writing about the novel and the modern-day dystopia experienced by its protagonists. It had already won the glowing praise of many reviewers, wowed the judges of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and started appearing with frequency in the clutches of commuters on public transport. It now sits atop the country’s bestseller lists – and not just those of the independent bookstores. The recent sale of the TV rights has made it official: The Slap is now more than a book – it has become part, if not the effective instigator, of a national conversation about families and children.' (Introduction)

— Appears in: Medievalism and the Gothic in Australian Culture 2006; (p. 41-59)

1 1 Francis Webb's White Swan of Trespass : A Drum for Ben Boyd and Australian Modernism in the 1940s Andrew Lynch , 2001 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Journal of Commonwealth Literature , vol. 36 no. 1 2001; (p. 27-43)
Argues that analysis of Australian poetic modernism in the 1940s has centred too much on the Ern Malley hoax. The essay attempts to redress this imbalance of attention in the history of Australian modernism, through a discussion of Webb's first major work.
