Tenacious of the Past : Introduction, Graham Tulloch , Judy King , single work criticism
The authors note the role of oral narrative in maintaining Scotland's traditions of the past, and suggest that Catherine Helen Spence's Scottish background, as reflected here in stories of her mother's telling, helped mould the woman who was to become "the Grand Old Woman of Australia".
 (p. ix-xiii)
