AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Fifty-two years after Joan Lindsay’s novel Picnic at Hanging Rock (1967) was released, it continues to spark the public imagination, functioning as a locus of creative and scholarly engagement. The book’s central event, the disappearance in 1900 of three schoolgirls and their teacher, creates a ripple pattern that continues to affect those involved.2 Similarly, the story has had a rich and varied afterlife, manifesting in the intervening decades in unexpected and intriguing ways.'
