Romanticism, Nationalism and the Myth of the Popular in William Lane's The Workingman's Paradise, Andrew McCann , single work criticism
The author argues "that William Lane's 1892 socialist-realist novel ... is paradigmatically Romantic, and ... is one of those texts that embarrasses a cultural nationalism still convinced of the progressiveness of its agenda ...making visible a much more pervasive relationship between Australian nationalism, its socialist variant and the White Australia Policy." (p.2)
 (p. 1-12; notes151)
Subverting the Empire : Exploration in the Fiction of Thea Astley and Peter Carey, Paul Genoni , single work criticism
"This article examines the way in which contemporary Australian novelists use various tropes derived from exploration in order to embellish themes of personal search in their fiction. By doing so they have borrowed from the language and myths created by what was essentially an exercise in imperialism, and applied them to the quest by individuals in the settler society to find a permanent spiritual home in the new country." (p.13)
 (p. 13-21; notes 151-152)
Why Australian, and American, Why Indeed All, Historians Should Read Les Murray's Fredy Neptune, Ian J. Bickerton , single work criticism
Bickerton examines the nature of historical truth, asking questions such as "what is truth?" and "what constitutes good historical writing?" He asks the reader to consider whether a "verse novel in which the vast majority of individuals and events are not actual or real in any literal sense [can] be regarded as an authentic historical text?" (p.24)
