While only one book-length memoir recounting the sojourn of an Australian in France was published in the 1990s, well over 40 have been published since 2000, overwhelmingly written by women. Although we might expect a focus on travel, intercultural adjustment and communication in these texts, this is the case only in a minority of accounts. More frequently, France serves as a backdrop to a proje…

LIFE AND LETTERS OF WILLIAM SHARP AND "FIONA MACLEOD" : volume 3

This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and…

Notwithstanding the warnings of the seer Tiresias and the cautionary tale of a character Acoetes (perhaps Bacchus in disguise), who tells of how the god once transformed a group of blasphemous sailors into dolphins, Pentheus refuses to acknowledge t…
