A Child Lost in the Bush. Australian National Identity in Joseph Furphy's Such is Life

Published by: Hrvatsko filološko društvo
Summary/Abstract: Joseph Furphy’s novel Such is Life was written in response to The Bulletin’s call to »write Australia«. As a text written within the Nationalist-Democratic literary tradition, it contributes to the formulation of the nationalist metanarrative. However, a careful analysis of the textual traces destabilises the unisono (Anderson) of the nation, revealing the polyphony of voices, and Furphy’s Australia as an emerging country, comparable to a child lost in the bush, attempting to come to terms with its roots/routes (Hall).
