Xavier Herbert. Requiem for Genius Russell McDougall , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Cultural Studies Review , vol. 23 no. 2 2017; (p. 106-125)

'In today’s global celebrity culture it’s hard to imagine a word more over-used and abused than ‘genius’. It is a slippery word with a long and contradictory conceptual history. Yet, in the Land of the Tall Poppy, self-confessions of genius invariably have paved a broad road to public ridicule and denigration. Xavier Herbert’s notion of genius was not static. It changed throughout his life and it evolved through his writing. He agreed with Carlyle that the first condition of genius must always be a ‘transcendent capacity of taking trouble’ and on this foundation he built his own concept of genius, as the unending ‘capacity for loving’. This article explores what genius meant to Xavier Herbert and how it translated into his fiction, before considering how our sense of genius today influences the way we respond to his most challenging fictions of love and hate, 'Capricornia' and 'Poor Fellow My Country'.'  (Publication abstract)

— Appears in: Hot Iron Corrugated Sky : 100 Years of Queensland Writing 2002; (p. 158-169) ''Place is not a simple concept. There is 'place' as we know it from walking along it, from looking and working and taking shelter in it. There is 'place' shown on maps, where we run our fingers across swathes of it, locating points or large areas in relation to each other, orienting ourselves. There is 'place' as landscape and seascape, depicted in painted, photographed and filmed images, and described in written texts. And there is the 'idea of place' - a product formed in a culture through association of a site with an accumulation of outputs and critical responses: emotion - all that comes culturally to settle in place.'
