Our New Serial : Untrodden Green
1930
single work
review
— Appears in: The Sydney Morning Herald , 14 May no. 28816 1930; (p. 20)
— Review of Untrodden Green 1930 single work novella Sydney and Palm Beach form the settings for Castleden Dove's novel, 'Untrodden Green', which is to begin publication in our columns as a serial on Friday next. The author has a graceful, exceedingly natural style, and with a few words gives the reader a complete mental picture of the surroundings, whether these are the mansions of Darling Point, the clamour of William Street, with its trams and endless processions of motor cars, or the wind blown hummocks on the peninsula leading out to the Barrenjoey lighthouse. But the setting has been kept strictly subordinate to the characters. It is in the character-drawing that the author excels. One feels the people of the novel to be living and real - not conventional types, but persons whose actions spring from subtle motives which have been indicated with the utmost truth to nature...the title is based on a line of Keats - 'Precipices show untrodden green' - 'Our New Serial', Sydney Morning Herald, 14 May 1930, p.20.
