Albatrosses and Western Attitudes to Killing Wild Birds, Graham Barwell , single work criticism

Graham Barwell addresses the following questions in this essay: 'how did the albatross acquire the significance it has today for Westerners?; what has been the relationship between its cultural significance and their behaviour towards it?; are the ways it has been captured in writing and visual media likely to affect people's behaviour?' (p. 85). The examples Barwell provides range from fifteenth century European explorers' account to contemporary novels; the one Australian text discussed is Ian Irvine's The Last Albatross.
