Foundation for Australian Literary Studies Colin Roderick Lecture 1991, Vanishing Edens: Responses to Australia in the Works of Mary Gilmore, Judith Wright and Dorothy Hewett

Abstract

Based on the 1991 Colin Roderick Lecture for the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies at James Cook University by Shirley Walker, this monograph examines how three "strong and radical women who have been closely involved in political and social causes in Australia" also share "tender and eulogistic images of Australian childhood."
