— Review of Lohrey Julieanne Lamond , 2022 selected work essay 'Most will be familiar with Amanda Lohrey’s Miles Franklin-winning 2020 novel The
Labyrinth, but many will not have explored the rich body of work this author has produced
over the several decades of her career. Julieanne Lamond’s book-length study is both an
introduction to Lohrey for readers and academics, as well as a call for scholars of Australian literature to pay due attention to this significant Australian writer.'

1 Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy’s Early Novels for Children Susan Sheridan , Emma Maguire , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , vol. 14 no. 3 2014; 'In the 1950s, bush settings were strong favourites for children’s novels, which often took the form of a generic mix of adventure story and bildungsroman, novel of individual development. In using bush settings to take up the environmental concerns of the period, the early novels of Wrightson and Chauncy added a new dimension to traditional settler images of rural life as central to Australian national identity. The bush is loved for its beauty and revered as a source of knowledge and character building, rather than being represented as an antagonist which must be overcome or domesticated. In this respect, Chauncy in particular anticipates later ecological concerns in writing for children.' (Publication abstract)
