Works about this Work

Trading Yarns : India, Australia, and Ethel Anderson Paul Sharrad , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: New Literatures Review , Spring vol. 41 no. 2004; (p. 85-103) 'In the Macleay Museum at the University of Sydney a serendipitous variety of Victorian curiosities are brought. together from many private collections. Amongst them is a small card with a sample of white fabric attached. It is a piece of muslin, made from cotton grown in Australia, spun in Manchester, and woven in Dacca, dated "c. 1850." What it indicates is the complex network of colonial production that was already outsourcing and modularising long before the word "globalisation" had been thought of. Bringing this item together with an equally curious "museum piece" of Australian literature (the Indian stories of Ethel Anderson) points up some of the limitations of previous constructions of literary histories, not just those standard narratives of the spread of (and assimilation to) Empire culture, but also the nationalist counter-stories of a separate and different emergence of an autonomous cultural identity.'

Anderson (1868-1949) Bethia Foott , Paddington : Rainforest Publishing , 1992 Z506102 1992 single work biography The name Ethel Anderson may not be as well-known as that of other Australian authors, but she has been hailed as one of our best writers and poets. Similarly, Austin Anderson is probably not familiar outside military circles, where his distinguished army career won him much acclaim. He was later a private secretary to three New South Wales governors and two governor generals. In this biography of her parents, Bethia Foott has blended their lives into a rich tapestry which reflects a unique way of life in the first half of this century.
