What Colour Are the Dead? Madness, Race and National Gaze in Henry Lawson's The Bush Undertaker,
single work
criticism
(p. 14-25)Lee examines the National vs Imperial contestation for power in 'The Bush Undertaker' in the dicourse of the narrator and the hatter. The space between what the narrator 'knows' and reality is the site where the 'eccentric' or 'mad' emerges. This is the 'other' - that which is outside the Australian's 'national gaze'. Lee concludes that a 'stoic-heroic disengagement with [the grand Australian Bush] . . . identifies the character of the Australian Nation'.
