AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This essay explores the literary tendency to: 're-write and re-read in fictional terms those artificial 'truths' of history - raised to the rank of the official veracity in the process of the political genesis of the nation -, a literary tendency which has dwelled, in the last twenty years, upon some crucial moments in Australian colonial history.' (p85)
