AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'...Georgina Loveridge begins a more overt dismantling of our understanding of White in the wake of his own late re-envisioning of his work. The chapter, then, zeroes in on the potential for critical collapse threatened (or perhaps promised) in the preoccupation with jitters, tremblings, contradictory times, ambivalence, madnesses, revisions and disconcerting revelations in nearly all our chapters. She reads Flaws as a treatise on the nature of truth with White extending a continuous dismantling of his own symbolic apparatus and offering a blueprint for re-reading hes entire work.' (Introduction 8)

    'Patrick White (1912–1990) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1973 and remains one of Australia’s most celebrated writers. This book represents new work by an outstanding list of White scholars from around the globe. This collection of diverse and original essays is notable for its acknowledgement of White’s homosexuality in relation to the development of his literary style, in its consideration of the way his writing ‘works’ on/with readers, and for its contextualizing of his life and oeuvre in relation to London and to London life.'
