1 Maurice Frere's Wife : Marcus Clarke's Revision of 'His Natural Life' Joan Poole , 1970 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , October vol. 4 no. 4 1970; (p. 383-394)
Poole examines the changes to the character of Mrs Frere when Marcus Clarke shortened the serial version of His Natural Life for book publication. Apart from the change of name from Dora to Sylvia, Mrs Frere's character was subject to a number of revisions as Clarke revised the narrative. These and other changes, Poole concludes, produced a superior work.

1 The Broad Arrow - A Re-Appraisal Joan Poole , 1966 single work criticism biography
— Appears in: Southerly , vol. 26 no. 2 1966; (p. 117-124)
This first substantial discussion of The Broad Arrow highlights melodramatic formulae that often produce "excessive emphasis" on some details at the expense of others. Poole concludes that the main interest of the novel lies in the possibility that Marcus Clarke read it before writing His Natural Life.
