Iseman "suggests ways of extending a textual analysis of ... Prichard's work through Freudian psychoanalytic theory and particularly through the interconnections of femininity, sexuality, death and renewal. She examines the ways in which texts are informed by the 'unconscious structures which develop from birth within a tough network of family relationships and sexual tensions'". (Editors' introduction to Nellie Melba, Ginger Meggs and Friends.)
