AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A selection from Franklin's considerable output of "topical writings" - "occasional pieces, mostly published in newspapers and magazines" in Australia, England and the USA, addressing a wide variety of subjects including feminism, nationalism, war, culture and literature. The writings are presented in six sections, "one for each of the four main periods of her life, and a further two encompassing the later years."

Biopolitics and Eleanor Dark's Prelude to Christopher Anne Maxwell , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , June vol. 26 no. 2 2011; (p. 76-90) 'In 1934 Miles Franklin described Eleanor Dark's second novel, Prelude to Christopher, as 'a terribly beautiful piece of work' (128). One of Dark's earliest critics, Franklin attributed the book's strength to the author's deft handling of a tragic theme and 'the urge to speak the naked truth' (125).
