1 Imported Genre of Local Characteristics : On Australian Colonial Gothic Fiction Gong Jing , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Xihua University , June vol. 31 no. 3 2012; (p. 45-48) 'With the burgeoning of cultural studies, the gothic has been hotly discussed in British and American academia since the 1980s. It has been a long held idea that Australia, which has a comparatively short history, hence of no castellated culture, has yielded few gothic tales. As a result, Australian gothic hasn't aroused much interest. The present paper firstly takes a view of the possibilities of Australia's importation of the gothic, then, studies its new development as a local genre. It will be of much importance to broaden and enrich both Australian literary study as well as gothic study.' (Publication abstract)
 
1 Bush Mythology in Human Toll Gong Jing , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Xihua University , April vol. 30 no. 2 2011; (p. 95-98) 'Barbara Baynton was one of the most important women writers who were active at the turn of the 20* century, when Henry Lawson and "Banjo" Paterson' s robust nationalism were more dominating voices. Baynton' s, which was definitely a feminine one, was a dissident voice. The present work aims to discuss the theme of motherhood in her only novel, Human Toll, to explore Baynton s effort in subverting the prevailing self-confident bush mythology which was best represented by the idea of "mateship".' (Publication abstract)
