— Appears in: Kunapipi , vol. 26 no. 2 2004; (p. 122-135)
Goodwin notes that in her novel The Sun in Exile (1955), Cusack deals with the general question of colonialism and anticipates virtually all the key issues in the decolonisation debate. He argues that 'a persuasive case may be made that...Dymphna Cusack was a prophet, precursor, early-warning system, even unacknowledged legislator of the many concerns of what later called itself postcolonial theory.'

1 Henry Kendall's Religion Ken L. Goodwin , 2002 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 20 no. 3 2002; (p. 225-230)
Goodwin's investigation of Kendall's religious persuations takes as a starting point a suggestion by Douglas Sladen (in A Century of Australian Song,1888) that Kendall was something of an outsider in social and literary circles in so far as he was a Roman Catholic 'in a secular, or at best an undenominational community'. The article examines the available evidence on Kendall's religion and the question whether being a Catholic at the time was really something of a social liability, and discusses contemporary social attitudes towards religious groups, particularly Catholicism. The author concludes that Sladen was wrong in considering Kendall to be a Catholic, and that, on the whole, Sydney society at the time was not intolerant of Catholics but was rather a society increasingly tolerant of all religious differences, including secularism and irreligion.
