Works about this Work

Listening in to The Lawsons: Radio Crosses the Urban-Rural Divide Megan Blair , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Struggle Country: The Rural Ideal in Twentieth Century Australia 2005; (p. 07.1-19) 'Many scholars have acknowledged the artificiality of the dichotomous 'urban-rural divide'. Few, however, have examined the shared cultural influences and experiences that help to create and perpetuate real and imagined similarities between country and city. This chapter attempts to address this problem with an analysis of The Lawsons, a 1940s radio serial that at once represented, and facilitated an understanding of, rural Australians in terms of alignment with, and likeness to, their urban counterparts.' (p.07.1)
