2 53 y separately published work icon Bush Studies Barbara Baynton , ( trans. Pilar Adón with title Estudios de lo salvaje ) Madrid : Impedimenta , 2018 Z820571 1902 selected work short story (taught in 12 units)

'Bush Studies is famous for its stark realism—for not romanticising bush life, instead showing all its bleakness and harshness.

'Economic of style, influenced by the great nineteenth-century Russian novelists, Barbara Baynton’s short-story collection presents the Australian bush as dangerous and isolating for the women who inhabit it.' (Publication summary : Text Classics)
9 70 y separately published work icon Picnic at Hanging Rock Joan Lindsay , ( trans. Pilar Adón with title Picnic en Hanging Rock ) Madrid : Impedimenta , 2010 Z305085 1967 single work novel historical fiction mystery (taught in 2 units)

'It was a cloudless summer day in the year 1900. Everyone at Appleyard College for Young Ladies agreed it was just right for a picnic at Hanging Rock. After lunch, a group of three girls climbed into the blaze of the afternoon sun, pressing on through the scrub into the shadows of the secluded volcanic outcropping. Farther, higher, until at last they disappeared. They never returned. ...'
