Works about this Work

From Cosmopolitan Romance to Transnational Fiction : Re-reading Jean Devanny’s Australian Novels Nancy L Paxton , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Transnational Ties : Australian Lives in the World 2009; (p. 215-228) 'When Jean Devanny (1894-1962) left New Zealand in 1929 bound for Sydney, she considered Australia 'merely a transit point' and planned to travel on to England, believing it to be 'a more favourable location for a novelist'. Devanny gradually came to accept Australia as her home, as Carole Ferrier argues, because of her 'double commitment' to the Communist Party of Australia and to her development as a writer. While Ferrier's pioneering scholarship and definitive biography offer invaluable insights into Devanny's life and writing, I will suggest another perspective on both by exploring how her experiences in Australia transformed her into a 'transnational' subject.
