'Relaxed and Comfortable' : Carey, Grenville and the Politics of the History Novel, Jodi Gallagher , single work criticism
'The relationship between history and literature is symbiotic, particularly in the context of building foundational myths about a relatively new nation-state. In Australia, with barely two hundred years of white settlement compared to an estimated sixty thousand years of Indigenous occupation, discussions about the colonial encounter have an immediate political relevance to both political and artistic representations of Indigenous people. This chapter links the contentious issues in the preambles written for the Australian constitution during the 1999 campaign for a Republic with the current state of the historical novel in Australia' (p. 233)
(p. 233-244)
Fact and Fiction in Henry Handel Richardson's The Young Cosima, Wiebke J. Eikholt , single work criticism (p. 245-255)
