FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Barbara Bayntons 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. Notes Bestselling author Helen Garner provides the introduction to this influential collection of short stories. Author Biography Barbara 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. Review The terror Baynton evokes, Helen Garner writes in her introduction to the book, is elemental, sexual, unabashedly female. So precise, so complete, with such insight into detail and such force of statement, it ranks with the masterpieces of realism in any language. - Bulletin Review Quote So precise, so complete, with such insight into detail and such force of statement, it ranks with the masterpieces of realism in any language.
