— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , June vol. 41 no. 2 2010; (p. 233-240) ‘What are the origins of recent calls for a retrospective pardon for Harry ‘Breaker’ Morant and the two other Australian found guilty of murder during the Boer War of 1899-1902? Who’s behind the calls, what course have they taken, and what success might they find? Whatever the calls’ result, historians should resist the underlying rejection of evidence and imagination in favour of patriotic platitudes and narrow legalism.’ (Publisher’s abstract p. 233)

1 Edwardian Excursion Craig Wilcox , 2004 single work essay
— Appears in: Meanjin , vol. 63 no. 3 2004; (p. 23-32) Wilcox examines the lives of Australian artists (principally writers and painters) who lived in London during the two decades before World War I. Having canvassed the breadth of experience, including creative successes and failures, Wilcox leaves it to his readers to determine whether the migration and resultant artistic output 'denied Australia or simply enriched a wider world'.
