Some had a powerful influence on the colonies? developing sense of identity; others were more ephemeral. But all had a role to play in shaping and reflecting the social and economic circumstances of life in the colonies. In Colonial Australian Fiction: Character Types, Social Formations and the Colonial Economy, Ken Gelder and Rachael Weaver explore the genres in which these characters flourished: the squatter novel, the bushranger adventure, colonial detective stories, the swagman?s yarn, the Australian girl?s romance. Authors as diverse as Catherine Helen Spence, Rosa Praed, Henry Kingsley, Anthony Trollope, Henry Lawson, Miles Franklin, Barbara Baynton, Rolf Boldrewood, Mary Fortune and Marcus Clarke were fascinated by colonial character types. 410 0$aSydney studies in Australian literature. 606 $aLiterature and society$zAustralia 606 $aAnthologies 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aAnthologies. 676 $a830.9358 700 $aGelder$b Ken$f1955-$0458349 702 $aWeaver$b Rachael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910316449403321 996 $aColonial Australian fiction$91945377 997 $aUNINA
