This landmark critical work chronicles the life and creative output of a writer who, despite spending most of her adult life in Europe, produced fiction of profound psychological depth and national significance, most notably in her epic trilogy The Fortunes of Richard Mahony.\n\nGreen presents a meticulous and impassioned analysis of Richardson's novels, unpacking the autobiographical currents, European literary influences, and feminist dimensions that run through her prose. With scholarly rigour and genuine literary insight, Green argues convincingly for Richardson's place at the forefront of Australian modernism, challenging the long-held critical neglect of a writer whose work rewards close and careful reading. For anyone seeking to understand the full complexity of Australian literature, this study opens a door that cannot easily be closed again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130625630427,"sku":"2026200010075-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/39c2bdc4-1ecc-4b47-a536-af7d9caf5398.png?v=1786587831","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010075-secondhand-henry-handel-richardson-and-her-fiction","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
