New York, New York, U.S.A.: Cambridge University Press, 1990. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book applies the insights of feminist scholarship and of literary analysis to examine the Australian national character, and looks at how the concept of the typical Australian, and the woman who stands in relation to him, has evolved across a range of cultural forms, including historical and literary texts, film and the media; it concentrates in particular on the writings of Henry Lawson and Barbara Baynton, and explores the circulation of ideas about these writers, their contribution to a national mythology, and the different ways their importance has been represented to modern readers (pictorial cover with very slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
