Subject: Land, Heseltine, and Australian lit


Hello all,

I'm reading Harry Heseltine and I can tell I should be suspicious of him
for two reasons: 1) he describes himself as an unreconstructed New Critic and
2) he just puts out there that there is an enormous relationsh between
the land, geography as it were, and Australian writing, without really digging
into why. I want very much to agree with him -- I am trying to write a
chapter about _Voss_ -- but I wonder if anyone out could suggest to me

1) critics that I really ought to be reading as a supplement/corrective
to Heseltine (if any) and

2) criticism I should be reading about this relationship between geography
and Australian lit that I am missing (which would make me vaguely unhappy
since I'm quite pleased to agree with Harry Heseltine but there it is.)

thanks much,

Judith Tabron
Brandeis University
