Heseltine discusses Kendall's attempts to create a "literary" personality. In his search for a literary self Kendall explored aboriginal, biblical and classical themes. Kendall's quest to mythologize an uncertain self into a sustaining identity, Heseltine argues, enabled similar searches by Australia's later poets.
