Bush Studies (1902) is a collection of short stories that explore
the dark side of the Australian bush experience: loneliness,
isolation and danger. The stories, often depicting female
suffering, are grimly realistic, in contrast to the masculine
romantic notions of the outback as represented by Henry Lawson and
Banjo Paterson. All six stories in Bush Studies deal with the great
themes of birth and death, although only 'Bush Church' renders its
theme as comedy, with its disorderly scenes of a church service and
multiple christenings gone awry. This new edition of Bush Studies,
with an introduction by Susan Sheridan, is a part of the Australian
Classics Library series, which is intended to make classic texts of
Australian literature more widely available for secondary school
and undergraduate university classrooms, and for the general
reader. The series is co-edited by Emeritus Professor Bruce Bennett
of the University of New South Wales and Robert Dixon, Professor of
Australian Literature at the University of Sydney, in conjunction
with SETIS, Sydney University Press, AustLit and the Copyright
Agency Limited.
