Slessor's 'Five Visions of Captain Cook' Julian Croft , 1969 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 4 no. 1 1969; (p. 3-17) A close reading of Slessor's sequence, focussing on the nature of the visions and the visionaries; the use Slessor makes of his sources; and questions of unity. Argues that the sequence has a unity of purpose: to consider Cook's stature as a a hero; a unity of concept: the relationship of Cook to Time; and a unified structure based on the recurring motif of Time.
