Henry Savery, Quintus Servinton, Barry Argyle , single work
Argyle challenges Cecil Hadgraft's idea (based on date, setting and residence of author) that Quintus Servinton is the first Australian novel, by pointing to the influence of Walter Scott and the author's lack of engagement with a geographical or political notion of Australia.
 (p. 10-26)
Charles Rowcroft, Tales of the Colonies and The Bushranger of Van Diemen's Land, Barry Argyle , single work
Argyle discusses Rowcroft's better novels, demonstrating the author's treatment of colonisation, gender relations and his portrayal of aborigines. The discussion of these issues complements or supplements Argyle's larger concern with the influence of Walter Scott and the appearance of the Byronic hero in Australian literarture.
