DescriptionBarbara Baynton's short-story collection Bush Studies is famous for its stark realism - for not romanticising bush life, instead showing all its bleakness and harshness. Economic of style, influenced by the great nineteenth-century Russian novelists, Baynton presents the Australian bush as dangerous and isolating for the women who inhabit it. Author descriptionBarbara Baynton (1857-1929) had her first short story published in the Bulletin in 1896. Her short stories were collected in Bush Studies and she published a novel, Human Toll. |
