Henry Lawson’s Slum Stories
Henry Lawson is best known for his short stories of the Australian rural “bush.” He also wrote stories set in urban Sydney, and in a rediscovered letter he describes one of those stories, “Two Larrikins” (1893), as “realistic or Zolaistic.” The story is set in Lawson’s fictional Sydney slum locality of “Jones’ Alley,” also the title of one of the urban-set stories in his definitive collection While the Billy Boils (1896). This reference to Zola i…

This composite whole or structure of society (Ancient Polis/Modern State) is the political end of humanity for both philosophers, which in turn finds its primordial beginning in the family. For Aristotle, it is in the kingly rule of the household that the property-bas…
