Notes

  • Large parts of the pre-1939 memories in the two autobiographies correspond in general and in detail. There are, however, interesting revisions with regard to political developments.

Works about this Work

Lovely Boys, Good Blokes, and Bonzer Bints : Love and Eroticism in British and Australian Great War Narratives Clare Rhoden , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 28 no. 1 2014; (p. 155-165, 257) 'Rhoden examines love and eroticisam in British and Australian Great War narratives. Interestingly, Australian narratives, with their protagonists even more separated from their women, are also likely to eschew homosexual themes. Although male tenderness exists, it is represented as being of a much lesser degree, at least in its physical manifestation. Male-male friendship–mateships–represented by Australian authors may carry undertones of emotional and physical intensity, but this is usually expressed in curt, economical gestures. The "lovely boys" of British works give way to a bunch of good blokes. Readers need to look more closely for evidence of romance and special individual bonds.' (Publication abstract)

Examination of these novels shows that, though constantly drawing on Boyd's family background and his personal experience in both Australia and Europe, they are not repetitive, but demonstrate a trend towards growing maturity in writing.'
