Works about this Work

Contexts of Possibility - George Eliot and Catherine Spence Bruce Bennett , 1991 single work criticism biography
— Appears in: An Australian Compass : Essays on Place and Direction in Australian Literature 1991; (p. 146-157) Reflecting on the different environments in which the two writers lived and wrote, and the effect this had on their literary development, Bennett asks what difference it would have made to their writings if Spence had continued to live in Scotland, or Eliot had emigrated to the 'young' countries.
Catherine Helen Spence and Catherine Martin Dale Spender , 1988 single work criticism
— Appears in: Writing a New World : Two Centuries of Australian Women Writers 1988; (p. 176-184) Spender discusses the fact that both Catherine Helen Spence and Catherine Martin were advocates of human rights, using their fiction for social change. Their viewpoints were both Australian and assertively feminine.
Love and Labour : Marriage and Work in the Novels of Catherine Helen Spence Helen Thomson , 1988 single work criticism
— Appears in: A Bright and Fiery Troop : Australian Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century 1988; (p. 101-116)

Thomson examines Spence's portrayal of women, marriage and society in her novels, noting the degree to which she criticizes the nineteenth-century status quo and suggests reforms which would liberate women, married or unmarried.
Catherine Helen Spence: Pragmatic Utopian Helen Thomson , 1983 single work criticism
— Appears in: Who Is She? 1983; (p. 12-25) The author argues that the ideas Spence worked hard to disseminate were chiefly pragmatic; that she failed to understand the function of art and literature beyond the simply didactic. However, in her work, national pride found a definitive female voice for the first time.
