Introduction

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 1 –12

[Like all histories, this book is a writing of the present as well as the past. It is about reading as much as writing: how we read the texts of the past after a century of radical changes in writing, and of the expansion of Anglophone poetics that dealt with those changes and proposed further....

The Hunted Writer

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 13 –38

[This chapter shows the unsettling possibility of reading two historically significant texts, The Jerilderie Letter by Ned Kelly (1855–1880), and the “Letter to Mr Philips, Lord Sydney’s Steward” by Bennelong (1764?–1813), through the practice of hunting. While Romantic poets wrote of such...

An Australian Poetics of the Plough

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 39 –62

[Ned Kelly is a major figure of the Australian imaginary. Lyn Innes cites poet Peter Porter’s estimation that he is one of Australia’s three most potent icons, along with racehorse Phar Lap and cricketer Don Bradman (83). Alluding to Ned in his armor, she goes on to describe him as “Don Quixote...

Unnecessary Inventions

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 63 –84

[In this chapter I read the unsettling poetics of a unique diary, written by Jong Ah Sing (c. 1837–1900), a Chinese gold-miner arrested after a knife fight at the camp where he lived, near Dunolly, Victoria, in 1867. The Case was written sometime between 1867, when Jong was arrested for assault...

Open Secrets

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 85 –106

[The British were not the first travellers to learn the Aboriginal secret of the land that became Australia. The Dutch and the French had already been there (Dyer 2). Trade had also been going on between Aboriginal people and the Macassans (of what is now Indonesia) before the British arrived,...

Boredom

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 107 –127

[Australia was never meant to be fun. It was designed to be a prison: a convict settlement where England’s victims were sent “to pine their young lives away in starvation and misery” (Kelly 67). Historian Russel Ward records the high level of drunkenness in mid-nineteenth-century Australia, but...

Unsettling the Field

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 129 –152

[Activities that have become metaphors or marginal activities in Europe are found to be present and central in a more literal sense in early Australia: this includes their representation in Australian writing. In the readings that follow I examine the literal use of the “field,” more commonly...

Writing to Order

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 153 –174

[As alluded to in the chapter on Harris, settlement was not just about the establishment of white British culture, with anomalous European and Chinese additions. It was also intent on the forced resettlement of Indigenous people, particularly children, and especially lighter-skinned children:...

Homelessness

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 175 –194

[In the Networked Language chapter (also called “Homelessness”) on twentieth-century poet Judith Wright, Mead quotes her poem “Habitat” (1973): “Inside the books were read and the words were scribbled” (326). Much of the writing we have considered so far was done outside. In this chapter I go...

Conclusion

Farrell, Michael

Pages: 195 –197

[In an essay on “the creolization of the psychoanalytic concept of trauma,” Pheng Cheah writes, “For at least two decades, it has been the task of postcolonial theory, loosely termed, to remind critical theory of its Eurocentric limits and to point to different forms of theorization that may...
