Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes The research for this paper has been generously assisted by a grant from the Australian Research Council. John Barnes, Lucy Frost, Wallace Kirsop and Peter Pierce have all answered my various questions from their extensive knowledge of nineteenth‐century Australian writing. I want to thank Lucy Sussex for research assistance in Australia and Hannah Kantor for the same in the United Kingdom. I am very grateful to Ken Ruthven for his comments on an earlier draft of this piece and especially for the term 'biodiscourse' in my title. In this paper I want to address some specific theoretical concerns raised by my project of writing a critical biography of Caroline Leakey, a nineteenth‐century English writer who spent five years in Van Dieman's Land—the small southern state of Australia later called Tasmania—and published a collection of poems (written in Tasmania), a long and important novel (drawn from her experiences of coloniality) and a large number of religious tracts. This critical biography follows a scholarly edition of Leakey's novel, The Broad Arrow, Being Passages from the History of Maida Gwynnham, a Lifer (1859), which I have been editing and work I have been doing in feminist theory
