Thomas Keneally and the Scheme of Things,
single work
criticism
"Acknowledges Keneally's seeming contradiction of being both a popular and serious novelist. Yet argues that in spite of the popular elements in his work, Keneally shows a keen awareness of the individual's precarious position in 'the scheme of things,' and directs each novel toward a search for surety amid uncertainties, for comprehension of the inexplicable, for an affirmation of decency and integrity" (Annotation in R. Ross, Australian Literary Criticism - 1945-1988, 241).
-
Jimmy Governor and Jimmie Blacksmith,
single work
criticism
Historian Henry Reynolds examines the historical background of and model for Keneally's novel and focuses on four things: "to outline the general background to race relations in rural Australia in the late nineteenth century, to examine the significance of Jimmy Governor's career, to note public reaction to it, and finally to consider the version of the events depicted in Keneally's novel" (14).
