Works about this Work

The Pursuit of Love in Elizabeth Jolley’s 'Lovesong' Nataša Kampmark , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: CrosSections Vol. 2 : Selected Papers in Literature and Culture from the 9th HUSSE Conference 2010; (p. 371-376)
Elizabeth Jolley's Late Work Delys Bird , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , vol. 24 no. 1 2009; (p. 121-133)

The article looks at the last four novels by Jolley which were 'somewhat neglected by scholars'. Taken as a body of 'late work' with some evidence of 'late style' (Edward Said), 'might give them a more acknowledged place in a critical history of Jolley's writing' (122).
