AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Tasmanian Visions traces the cultural reasons why particular landscapes have been privileged, reviled or ignored over the two centuries since Europeans arrived. Writings about Tasmania, from the records of the early explorers and settlers, the first Australian novel, Quintus Servinton, and Marcus Clarke's blockbuster His Natural Life, through the poetry of James McAuley, Gwen Harwood and Vivien Smith, to the novels of Christopher Koch, Richard Flanagan and Danielle Wood, indicate how these landscapes have both influenced, and been mythologised by, writers'.
