Romanticism, Nationalism and the Myth of the Popular in William Lane's The Workingman's Paradise,
single work
criticism
(p. 1-12; notes151)The author argues "that William Lane's 1892 socialist-realist novel ... is paradigmatically Romantic, and ... is one of those texts that embarrasses a cultural nationalism still convinced of the progressiveness of its agenda ...making visible a much more pervasive relationship between Australian nationalism, its socialist variant and the White Australia Policy." (p.2)
-
Subverting the Empire : Exploration in the Fiction of Thea Astley and Peter Carey,
single work
criticism
(p. 13-21; notes 151-152)"This article examines the way in which contemporary Australian novelists use various tropes derived from exploration in order to embellish themes of personal search in their fiction. By doing so they have borrowed from the language and myths created by what was essentially an exercise in imperialism, and applied them to the quest by individuals in the settler society to find a permanent spiritual home in the new country." (p.13)

He asks the reader to consider whether a "verse novel in which the vast majority of individuals and events are not actual or real in any literal sense [can] be regarded as an authentic historical text?"
