AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Campbell, Boake (Doris Kerr) and Rivers (Marjorie Clark) were Melbourne authors, setting their novels in that city. Although neglected these days, they were 'among the earliest pre-war Australian writers to fictionalise an urban environment, ignoring the bush as a theme, and preceeding most of their better known contemporaries in writing about the city' (36-37). 'The literary lives of Kerr, Campbell, and Clark have been under appreciated, but ... a reading of their novels and the milieu they worked in, provides a broader and richer history of women writers in Australia during the 1930s' (37).
