Works about this Work

Love and Vertigo : The Blue Mountains as Veranda in Australian Women's Writing Elizabeth Hicks , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , December vol. 25 no. 2 2011; (p. 171-175)
The Blue Mountains have often been used as a backdrop in Australian literature. Elizabeth Hicks looks at several of these texts by Australian women which were written during the fifteen years between 1987 and 2002, a period which loosley corresponds to theat of third-wave feminism.
The Bush and the Garden in the Writing of Drusilla Modjeska and Kate Llewellyn Elizabeth Hicks , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the European Association for Studies on Australia , vol. 2 no. 1 2011; (p. 70-81)
'Through the gardens depicted in their Blue Mountains texts of the 1980s and 1990s, Australian writers Drusilla Modjeska and Kate Llewellyn forge a feminist aesthetic in which the binaries of nature/culture, male/female and bush/city co-exist. These texts depict Australia as a nation that no longer looks predominantly to Britain but is a hybrid and transcultural entity which embraces its rich migrant experience.' Source: Elizabeth Hicks,
