1 Les Murray and the Vernacular Republic Neil Roberts , 1999 single work criticism
— Appears in: Narrative and Voice in Postwar Poetry 1999; (p. 108-121)
Argues that ideology, particularly the concepts of the vernacular republic and the democratic tradition is central to the development of Murray's poetic style. The author sees in Murray's work "the inseparability ... of language and politics" and recurring "ideologically charged polarities: rural and urban, religious and secular, Catholic and Protestant, 'Boeotian' and 'Athenian'".
