Introduction by Helen GarnerBarbara Baynton’s short-story collection Bush Studies is famous for its stark realism—for not romanticising bush life, instead showing all its bleakness and harshness.
'So precise, so complete, with such insight into detail and such force of statement, it ranks with the masterpieces of realism in any language.'
Bulletin.
The final story was by far the best, but overall I'm incredibly disappointed in this collection.
