Bush Studies

Bush Studies is a short story collection by Barbara Baynton that presents Australian bush life in the early colonial period as dangerous and isolating for women. Baynton's short stories and novels were noted at the time of their publication, and since, for their grim realism and depiction of female suffering. Excerpt: “A swirl of wet leaves from the night-hidden trees decorating the little station beat against the closed doors of the carriages. The porter hurried along holding his blear-eyed lantern to the different windows and calling the name of the township in a language peculiar to porters. There was only one ticket to collect.”
