Dorothy Hewett: Selected Critical Essays edited by Bruce Bennett

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Interior and binding are still very good.

Dorothy Hewett is one of Australia's most controversial authors. She has created legends of 'glittering girls' and their fates in her plays, poems and novels. She has challenged religious, sexual, political and literary conventions and has been blamed for moral decline.

Topics investigated in this book include Hewitt's achievements in drama and poetry, the role of place, myth and desire in an understanding of her work and the construction of her reputation by journalists, critics and photographers. (back cover)
