AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Miller comments that the novel 'describes the wandering life of an artist and a girl through the orchard- and wheat-lands of the southwest corner of Western Australia. The romantic episodes are inferior to the topographical features and the delineation of bush scenes and life, which reveal to eastern Australians the delightful settings of the south-western lands of the Commonwealth.'

The Shadow on the Field : Literature and Ecology in the Western Australian Wheatbelt
2007
single work
criticism
— Appears in: The Littoral Zone : Australian Contexts and Their Writers 2007; (p. 45-69) Satellite images show a sharp line marking the end (or beginning) of the country cleared for farming in south-western Australia. It is the most visible clearance line on the planet and demarcates an area the size of Scotland from which, in the space of two generations, the native vegetation was almost entirely stripped. This chapter attempts to trace this far-reaching ecological event in the creative literatures of those generations, focussing on the inter-war years. (abstract taken from The Littoral Zone) -
