2009
single work
criticism
— Appears in: LiNQ , vol. 36 no. 2009; (p. 135-160) Cheryl Taylor discusses seven female writers who were inspired by and wrote about North Queensland.

2008
single work
criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , no. 8 2008; (p. 31-44) 'This essay connects Praed's writing with late nineteenth and early twentieth century history with particular reference to the race issue.

single work
criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 10 no. 1 1981; (p. 48-56) Who Is She? 1983; (p. 26-36) Sharkey argues that romance enabled Praed to present the colonial experience from a metropolitan point of view and intelligibly relate the circumstances of women in fronteir society to a European audience. This is achieved by employing a love-theory that declares, in Platonic terms, that for each person there is one who is their perfect match. -
