AbstractHistoryArchive Description
"Allan Baillie's Secrets of Walden Rising (1996) is a novel about 'the politics of history' (Fernandez 2001, p.42) and an examination of the text's significant challenges to the dominant historical stories of its time seems appropriate as Australia's 'history wars' continue. In this paper [Pennell] examines the critical dystopian strategies employed in Secrets of Walden Rising to subvert some of the utopian national mythologies of white settler Australia."
