1 Nature's Lap, Nature's Book : The Weindorfers on Cradle Mountain Jarrod Hore , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , April no. 410 2019; (p. 50-51)

'Early on in Kindred: A Cradle Mountain love story, the journalist and walker Kate Legge dwells on an ‘extraordinary coincidence’ that took place over Christmas in 1903. While the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria were on excursion to Mount Buffalo, the itinerant prophet of the National Park movement, the Scottish-American John Muir, was also in the mountains of Victoria. On Christmas Day, Muir plunged into the valleys around the Black Spur to verify optimistic claims of eucalypts ‘as high as the Great Pyramid’. He was soon disappointed by how these mountain giants compared in height and age to the redwoods of the Sierras, but he was charmed by the seclusion and intimacy of Victoria’s forests.'  (Introduction)
1 ‘Beautiful Tasmania’: Environmental Consciousness in John Watt Beattie’s Romantic Wilderness Jarrod Hore , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: History Australia , vol. 14 no. 1 2017; (p. 48-66) 'This article explores an orientation to nature in fin de siècle Tasmania. I argue that this orientation drew upon a romantic tradition to support a sympathetic environmental consciousness among settlers. This consciousness was apprehended through the public work of wilderness photographers like John Watt Beattie. The explication of such a culture of sympathetic environmental consciousness through the archive of Beattie himself offers an alternative to existing accounts of the development of conservation ideology and environmentalism in the Australian colonies in the late nineteenth century.'
