Marriage, Mining, and Environmental Destruction in Nineteenth-century Fiction about Australia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference paperChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter situates the early representation of mining and its ecological aspects in nineteenth and early twentieth-century fiction about Australia between the geo-political, but bipolar discourse of mineral extraction in the northern and southern hemispheres. As a case study in the national complexities of this conjunction it looks at Charles Reade's novel It's Never To Late to Mend (1856) and Anthony Trollope's John Caldigate (178-79).
