criticism
— Appears in: Lemuria , vol. 3 no. 2010; (p. 134-145) This paper ‘endeavours to argue and establish the fact that Henry Lawson’s poetry which appears less poetic and devoid of certain poetic qualities have poured straight forth the poet’s heart.

Man, Work and Country: The Production of Henry Lawson
1992
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 15 no. 3 1992; (p. 110-122) Lee conducts a semiotic analysis of the reception of Henry Lawson and his works, revealing the connections critics made between the work, the hand of the author and truth. Lee finds that the work of a colonial realist like Lawson was subordinated to a European aesthetic in the "shifting discursive territories which characterise culture", subsequently excluding it from the validating process of the dominant culture. -
