Abstract

"Explores how the creative literary imagination can influence progressive social change in the real world ... McNeill applies insights from Marxist critical theory to the works of selected Aotearoa New Zealand and Australian writers. From Harry Holland, Henry Lawson and Mary Gilmore responding to the legacy of Robert Burns in the nineteenth century, to twenty-first-century novelists applying their literary imaginations to intersectional spaces and Indigenous, settler, gendered and international freedom traditions, McNeill reveals literature's capacity to find potent forms with which to articulate concepts of, and beliefs about, freedom"--Publisher information
