Description

Eliza Hamilton Dunlop (1796-1880) arrived in Sydney in 1838 and became almost immediately notorious for her poem The Aboriginal Mother, written in response to the infamous Myall Creek massacre.

She published more poetry in colonial newspapers during her lifetime, but for the century following her death, her work was largely neglected. In recent years, however, critical interest in Dunlop has increased, both in Australia and internationally, across a range of fields, including literary studies; settler, postcolonial and imperial studies; and Indigenous studies.

This stimulating collection of essays by leading scholars considers Dunlop's work from a range of perspectives and includes a new selection of her poetry.
