Works about this Work

Ada Cambridge : Pioneer of Australian Mystical Poetry Toby Davidson , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 24 no. 1 2010; (p. 27-34)
'This article offers a new perspective on Ada Cambridge's work from 1875-1913 by contending that she represents the first categorical example of an Australian Christian mystical poet.' (27)
Unspoken Thoughts : A Reassessment of Ada Cambridge Margaret Bradstock , 1989 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 14 no. 1 1989; (p. 51-65)
Bradstock responds to previous critics who argued that Cambridge yielded to convention and limited her thought. Bradstock argues that Cambridge entertained quite unconventional attitudes in regards to sexual morality and theology and expressed them in her prose and poetry. Although revision of poems from Unspoken Thoughts made The Hand in the Dark less radical, Cambridge revisited many of her early themes in later fiction.
Reopening the Case of Ada Cambridge Patricia Barton , 1987 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , October vol. 13 no. 2 1987; (p. 201-209)
Barton examines the revisions between Unspoken Thoughts and The Hand in the Dark and concludes that central to an undestanding of Cambridge's work is "the desire to reduce the importance of the conflict between fear of abandonment and thirst for freedom".
