      • Barbara Wall, in her Bibliography of Catherine Helen Spence (http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/spence/main_bib.htm) notes that 'according to Spence's Autobiography p. 25, Uphill Work (a novel) was published by the Telegraph in its weekend paper the Weekly Mail. An advertisement, announcing that a 'New Tale by Miss Spence' would be published serially in the Weekly Mail, appeared in the Telegraph on 15 February 1864. Unfortunately the Weekly Mail has not survived. Uphill Work was published in book form in 1865 under the title Mr Hogarth's Will.'

Martin , Kylie Mirmohamadi , North Melbourne : Australian Scholarly Publishing , 2011 Z1802540 2011 single work criticism 'Colonial Melbournians were mad about Sensation fiction - full of thrills and scandal; divorce, bigamy, mistaken identity and murder. Sensational Melbourne takes us through the libraries, the shops, the tramways, the theatres, the back lanes and the drawing rooms of Marvelous Melbourne, and shows how the city was built on words as much as gold. It traces the passage of the most popular novel of the nineteenth century, Lady Audley's Secret, from England to Melbourne's port and through the cultural byways of Melbourne out through the suburbs, and into Australian literature.' -- Back cover.

Catherine Helen Spence: Pragmatic Utopian Helen Thomson , 1983 single work criticism
— Appears in: Who Is She? 1983; (p. 12-25) The author argues that the ideas Spence worked hard to disseminate were chiefly pragmatic; that she failed to understand the function of art and literature beyond the simply didactic. However, in her work, national pride found a definitive female voice for the first time.

— Appears in: A Bright and Fiery Troop : Australian Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century 1988; (p. 101-116)

Thomson examines Spence's portrayal of women, marriage and society in her novels, noting the degree to which she criticizes the nineteenth-century status quo and suggests reforms which would liberate women, married or unmarried.
