Modern

Bush Studies

by Barbara Baynton

Six stories of women alone in the bush, published in London in 1902 and as far from the comradeship of Lawson’s mates as it is possible to get. Baynton’s bush is a place of isolation and menace, and her stories are hard to forget. “The Chosen Vessel” is the one most often reprinted.
