'In this article Prichard criticises those "academic book worms" who find
in Patrick White a new "Australian image". She, instead, praises the
"democratic tradition in Australian literature" as represented by Henry
Lawson. She urges: "We Australian writers must not let ourselves be
betrayed into the vogue for obscurity and obscenity which the avant
garde of literary critics, at present, regards as necessary ingredients
of a work of the creative imagination"'. Source: Reason in Revolt website.
