She produced high?quality, memorable and multi-sensory histories, including the Cyclone Tracy exhibition at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the reinterpretation of Fannie Bay Gaol. Informed by a great love of books, her passion for history was infectious. As well as offering three original chapters that appraise her work, this edited volume republishes her first book, In Search of the Never-Never. In Dewar?s comprehensive and incisive appraisal of the literature of the Northern Territory, she provides brilliant, often amusing insights into the ever-changing representations of a region that has featured so large in the Australian popular imagination. 606 $aAustralian literature$zAustralia$zNorthern Territory$xHistory and criticism 607 $aNorthern Territory$xIn literature 610 $aNorthern Territory 610 $ahistory 615 0$aAustralian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.999429 700 $aMcGrath$b Ann$4edt$0792611 702 $aMcGrath$b Ann$f1956- 712 02$aAustralian National University Press. 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910320754403321 996 $aIn search of the Never-Never$93397597 997 $aUNINA
