Romanticism and Environmentalism : The Tasmanian Novels of Marie Bjelke-Petersen, Roslynn D. Haynes , single work criticism
Examines romanticism and early environmentalism in Bjelke-Petersen's almost forgotten novels about the Tasmanian landscape. Haynes argues that although in one sense Bjelke-Petersen's "Romantic emphasis on possessing, and being possessed by, Nature can be seen as a form of emotional imperialism, her Tasmanian novels provided an important reassessment and a widely publicised step towards the acceptance of wilderness conservation in the state" (74).

Australian Literary Criticism : Future Directions, Anthony J. Hassall , single work criticism
Paper first presented at the Conference of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature (ASAL) in July 2000 in Hobart. It is concerned with "the future of literature and literary criticism in the university, and in particular with the criticism of Australian literature" and argues that "there are three urgent issues currently facing Australian literary criticism: finding a place for the teaching of literature ... in the academy; finding the appropriate audience for that teaching; and finding a voice in which to articulate a critical scrutiny of that literature" (88).
