1 Reading the People's Stories : Tales of Trial and Toil, and Australia's Federal Republic Winsome Roberts , 2003 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , no. 79 2003; (p. 95-103, notes 233-234) 'This article first explores the place of stories and poetry in constructing nationalism, examines some early instances of pioneering in poetry, then focuses on the ways pride in pioneering was expressed in communities in the years before federation. In particular, this paper emphasises the literacy of the gold rush generation, the cultural importance they attached to pioneering, and what that meant politically.' (95)
