AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Miller comments 'an indifferent love-story of a Perth girl and a forest ranger, uncultivated but of stirling character. The topography of the middle and south-west of Western Australia is effectively treated, and the novel is enhanced by nature studies on insect and bird life. There are some fine picturings of the romantic side of a modern Australian bushman.'

The Shadow on the Field : Literature and Ecology in the Western Australian Wheatbelt
2007
single work
criticism
— Appears in: The Littoral Zone : Australian Contexts and Their Writers 2007; (p. 45-69) Satellite images show a sharp line marking the end (or beginning) of the country cleared for farming in south-western Australia. It is the most visible clearance line on the planet and demarcates an area the size of Scotland from which, in the space of two generations, the native vegetation was almost entirely stripped. This chapter attempts to trace this far-reaching ecological event in the creative literatures of those generations, focussing on the inter-war years. (abstract taken from The Littoral Zone) -
