...and the *romance writer Lucy Walker were hailed overseas but disdained in Australia—Upfield sought his revenge by casting one of his detractors, the novelist Vance Palmer, as the murder victim in An Author Bites the Dust ( 1948 ).

Paintings flit in and out of view, and are often discussed with a free-wheeling disregard for the decorous proprieties of Academic taste. In this process, the published pronouncements of a painter- theorist...

The England of the 1790s, 1800s, and 1820s found itself mirrored in the Englands of plays such as The Surrender of Calais by George Colman the younger, England Preserved by George Watson , William *Godwin 's Faulkener , and Sheridan Knowles 's Virginius .
