1 y separately published work icon Defiance Wentworth Oliver , London : Camden Publishing Company , 1910 Z1510566 1910 single work novel romance 'Although melodramatic, Defiance does have an interesting modern theme. It is about a couple, both writers -he successful and established, she just starting out - who deliberately defy convention by deciding to go to Europe to live together. Initially they have no choice as the man's estranged wife is still alive, but even after her death, the lovers make the conscious decision not to get married despite having children and being snubbed by former acquaintances when they visit England.' John Arnold 'Australian Books, Publishers and Writers in England: 1900-1940' Unpublished paper
