Works about this Work

The Victorian Crisis of Faith in Australian Utopian Literature, Zachary Kendal , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Colloquy : Text Theory Critique , November no. 21 2011;
This paper investigates 'some of the different treatments of science and religion in Australian utopian literature from 1870 to 1900.' Kendal contends 'that an examination of this literature supports recent historiography, which contests the problematic science-versus-religion dichotomy that has often been used to characterise the Victorian "crisis of faith."'
