    Susan SheridanARTICLEJournal of Intercultural Studies2024

    I first met Sneja Gunew at a Women’s Studies conference in Wollongong in 1981. Together with Louise Adler, she gave a presentation, ‘Method and Madness in Female Writing’, which made a challenging intervention into this gathering. Intervention was her preferred practice of intellectual responsibility and challenge her characteristic style. I joined the staff at Deakin in 1985-1986, and during that time Sneja and I became firm friends, and her wor…

  • Politics and Passion in Stead’s Late Novels

    Open AccessSusan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Literary Studies2016

    This essay examines some recent attempts to devise a new critical approach to Steadâ s fiction which can encompass both the socialism she endorsed and the feminism she rejected, and asks how these approaches attempt to account for the affective as well as the intellectual impact of politics in Steadâ s novels, in particular Cottersâ England and Iâ m Dying Laughing

  • Sex and the City: New Novels by Women and Middlebrow Culture at Mid-Century

    Open AccessSusan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Literary Studies2012

    â Central to developments in Australian literature during the period from the end of Second World War until the mid-1960sâ what might be called the â long 1950sâ â was the emergence of the kind of modernist novel written by Patrick White as the benchmark of modern fiction. This was the outcome of a struggle among opinion-makers in the literary field, which during this period came to be dominated for the first time by academic critics. They, by an…

  • White Women Writing in the Contact Zone: Catherine Martin and Nancy Cato

    Susan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Feminist Studies2012Cited by: 1References: 4

    Margaret Allen's PhD thesis (1991) was concerned with South Australian women writers of the colonial period. A particularly exciting discovery was the work of Catherine Martin, who has been the subject of Allen's sustained biographical research over many years. Among Martin's publications was The Incredible Journey, the first Australian novel to feature an Aboriginal woman as its central character. Largely due to Margaret Allen's subsequent work,…

  • Historical Novels Challenging the National Story

    Susan SheridanARTICLEHistory Australia2011Cited by: 1

    Historical novels dealing with the colonial past have always played a key role in constructing popular understandings of the national story in Australia, whether by reinforcing its legends or challenging them. In recent debates historical fiction’s claims to authority have been perceived as competing with the work of historical scholars. By considering two such novels of the 1970s, Jessica Anderson’s The Commandant and Thea Astley’s A Kindness Cu…

  • A Friendship in Letters: The Correspondence of Judith Wright and Barbara Blackman

    Susan SheridanARTICLELife Writing2011References: 1

    The exchange of letters between the poet Judith Wright and essayist Barbara Blackman extended over 50 years until Wright's death in 2000. It is recorded in a selection of over 300 letters, edited by Bryony Cosgrove, in Portrait of a Friendship (2007). Their correspondence has come to signify their friendship, especially because their circumstances meant that the two women rarely met face to face. The letters are rich with references to the public…

  • Celebrating Elizabeth Jolley

    Open AccessSusan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Literary Studies2009

    When Elizabeth Jolley died in February 2007, the world lost one of the most distinctive literary voices of the late twentieth century. Jolley left a wide-ranging body of work - novels, short stories, radio plays, essays, poetry- unified by her persistent concern with social and sexual outsiders, with predators and victims. Her writing renders the pain of loneliness and loss with her characteristic wildly dark humour

    The articles discusses reading a group of women writers together as a manifestation of literary feminism.

  • Suburban Sonnets: ‘Mrs Harwood’, Miriam Stone and Domestic Modernity

    Open AccessSusan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Literary Studies2007

    Discusses Gwen Harwood's approach to suburban life and domestic modernity, particularly in her satirical and pseudonymous poems. 'Despite her clear apprehension that, in the world's eyes, "housewife" and "poet" were incompatible terms, she wrote a small but significant group of poems on domestic themes where satire is only one element of her complex treatment of the plight of creative women imprisoned in social definitions of the housewife and mo…

  • Thea Astley: A Woman Among the Satirists of Post-War Modernity

    Susan SheridanARTICLEAustralian Feminist Studies2003

    Modernity differs from other kinds of periodization in possessing a normative as well as a descriptive dimension-one can be ‘for’ or ‘against’ modernity in a way that one cannot be for or against the Renaissance, for example. The symbolic force of the term lies in its enunciation of a process of differentiation, an act of separation from the past. The rhetorical power carried by the idea of the modern is, as Felski points out, combined with its f…

  • Eating the Other: Food and cultural difference in the Australian Women's Weekly in the 1960s

    Susan SheridanARTICLEJournal of Intercultural Studies2000Cited by: 5References: 1

    This paper brings issues of gender and cultural difference together in analysing representations of food in a popular women's magazine during a period when the dominant culture's eating habits changed rapidly, in the 1960s. An examination of food advertising and cookery features in the Australian Women's Weekly brings into focus the domestic rather than the restaurant kitchen as a site of the turn to 'ethnic' foods. As a study of representations,…
