Representations of Innocence and Experience in the Novels of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton Representations of Innocence and Experience in the Novels of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton Hervé Cantero This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia The University of Western Australia School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline Group of English and Cultural Studies 2010 Abstract Traditionally associated with elements of the British literary canon such as William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the notions of innocence and experience are seldom encountered in Australian literature. This thesis seeks to demonstrate how these notions of innocence and experience are presented in Robert Drewe’s and Tim Winton’s fiction. After an examination of innocence and experience as perceived in the literary, philosophical and religious spheres in the first chapter, the geographical and sociocultural background for this thesis is described in detail in the second chapter: this section presents a summary of aspects of Australia’s and Western Australia’s histories of particular relevance to a study of the two authors’ works. The third chapter concentrates on Robert Drewe’s use of these two notions throughout his novels. The order of publication is eschewed in favour of a chronological axis designed around historically distinct subject matters. The author appears to prevent metaphysics from permeating his stories of men and women on a quest of their own, and he frequently juxtaposes points of view and narrative techniques in order to dig under the surface of unquestioned certainties. The fourth chapter of this thesis is a study of Tim Winton’s multilayered portrait of Western Australia’s land and people, with a fall from innocence to experience explored through the author’s specific spiritual sensibility. In his books, he frequently depicts characters on a tortuous path towards self-knowledge and acceptance, itineraries often leading to spiritual fulfillment. One common element to their personal approach to the notions of innocence and experience is the strong influence of the geographical setting of their fiction. Indeed, Drewe’s youth in Perth has had a lasting influence on his work, whether in his fiction (from The Savage Crows to Grace) or in his life-writing (The Shark Net: Memories and Murder). As for Tim Winton, he is seen as Western Australia’s foremost contemporary novelist – the Western state being the unique backdrop of his 2 books (except for The Riders), to the point of being seen almost as a recurrent living protagonist. The study of novels such as Drewe’s The Shark Net and Winton’s Cloudstreet focuses on issues of resilience, forgiveness and acceptance after growing up among life’s pitfalls and dangers. At the end of this historical perspective, it is also worth examining how Drewe and Winton tackle turn-of-the-millennium anxieties and post- modern bemusement in Grace and Dirt Music, two tales of escaping the burdens of civilizations, to return to the wild, the raw natural condition estranged from the conventional march from innocence to experience. Among other elements, this study encompasses Drewe’s and Winton’s efforts at dissecting myths and counter myths: what if the innocent Arcadia never existed? I will work on both authors’ treatment of past blemishes and scars (as presented in The Savage Crows, Shallows, and other works) sometimes hidden under layers of nostalgia. This study also shows how innocence and experience are involved in a regionally delineated cartography of problematic places, in which beaches, suburbs, deserts and remote islands are the constitutive elements of a geography of benign, humbling and cruel dealings with nature and man for the characters of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton. Finally, this thesis deals with other options brought forth by Drewe and Winton: experience as the logical corollary to lost innocence – two successive pages or chapters in the book of life; individual or collective guilt dealt with, and now part of a triangular interaction with innocence and experience, through an appeased reassessment of the past. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 6 A NOTE ON QUOTATIONS 8 INTRODUCTION 9 I Chapter I - The Concepts of lnnocence and Experience Introduction 14 I.1. “Innocence” 14 I.2. “Experience” 24 I.3.

Unusual or non- standard spellings, punctuations and grammatical constructions have therefore not been standardized. This especially applies to quotations of Robert Drewe’s and Tim Winton’s novels in chapters 3 and 4 of this study. In these specific cases, page references are given for editions used in the preparation of this thesis and these editions are fully referenced in the footnotes and the bibliography. 8 Introduction This thesis provides a study of the conceptual dichotomy that opposes innocence to experience in the novels of Robert Drewe and Tim Winton. The interplay between these two notions is a well-known motif superimposed on many processes of change which humans undergo passively, bring upon themselves or impose on the universe around them – whether one deals with religious images of purity and corruption, moral markers such as blamelessness and guilt, or aesthetic constructs such as infant perfection and wizened maturity. Because of the apparent familiarity of these concepts of innocence and experience, they need to be clearly delineated. The first chapter of this study starts with an examination of each of these concepts throughout their semantic evolution and their spiritual and philosophical histories. This initial exposition is then followed by a detailed treatment of the employment of the dichotomy of innocence and experience by a selection of notable playwrights, poets and novelists from the early Modern era to the twentieth century. This section on literary productions of Europe and of the New World provides a fuller understanding of the creative territory in which Drewe and Winton may work when they deal with this dichotomy in their works.

Edward ‘Ned’ Kelly was born in Beveridge, Victoria in 1855. Ned’s mother was and his father was John ‘Red’ Kelly, an ex-convict. He was their eldest son of eight children. As a child, Ned rescued another boy from drowning. The boy’s family him a green silk sash in recognition of his . Red Kelly died when Ned was young and Ned was left to provide for the family. He worked cutting timber, breaking in horses, mustering cattle and fencing. During his teenage years, Ned got in trouble with the police. In 1878, Ned felt that his mother was put in prison wrongfully and he was being harassed by the police, so he went into the bush to hide. Together with his brother Dan and two others, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, they became the Kelly Gang. The Gang was after killing three policemen at Stringybark Creek. This meant that they could be shot on sight by anybody at any time. For two years, the Gang robbed and avoided being captured. At the Jerilderie Bank robbery in 1879, with the help of Joe, Ned wrote a famous telling his side of the story. Many struggling small farmers of north-east Victoria felt they understood the Gang’s actions. It has been said that most of the takings from his famous bank robberies went to help his supporters, so many say Ned was an Australian Robin Hood.

  • Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’S True History and the Myths That Haunt Us
    Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’s True History and the myths that haunt us Marija Pericic Master of Arts School of Communication and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne November 2011 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (by Thesis Only). Abstract Ned Kelly has been an emblem of Australian national identity for over 130 years. This thesis examines Peter Carey’s reimagination of the Kelly myth in True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). It considers our continued investment in Ned Kelly and what our interpretations of him reveal about Australian identity. The paper explores how Carey’s departure from the traditional Kelly reveals the underlying anxieties about Australianness and masculinity that existed at the time of the novel’s publication, a time during which Australia was reassessing its colonial history. The first chapter of the paper examines True History’s complication of cultural memory. It argues that by problematising Kelly’s Irish cultural memory, our own cultural memory of Kelly is similarly challenged. The second chapter examines Carey’s construction of Kelly’s Irishness more deeply. It argues that Carey’s Kelly is not the emblem of politicised Irishness based on resistance to imperial Britain common to Kelly narratives. Instead, he is less politically aware and also claims a transnational identity. The third chapter explores how Carey’s Kelly diverges from key aspects of the Australian heroic ideal he is used to represent: hetero-masculinity, mateship and heroic failure. Carey’s most striking divergence comes from his unsettling of gender and sexual codes.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

  • Peter Carey's Ned Kelly 1855-1880
    CHAPTER FIVE AN OUTLAW IN FICTIONAL BIOGRAPHY: PETER CAREY’S NED KELLY 1855-1880 Strength of voice and clarity of context Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang is an outspoken book. The strength of its feeling comes from the way in which Carey draws the reader into the world of a Catholic Irish family in a Protestant, rural area of Victorian Australia by means of a totally credible rendering of the voice of Ned Kelly (1855-1880). Full account is given of the historical and cultural background of the ‘Kelly Rebellion’. Carey tells the story of an individual; but, as the title indicates, the focus is not just on one man. The first-person narrative tells how the Kelly Gang came into being as a social phenomenon, how the men were pushed so far that they outlawed themselves and came together behind Kelly’s name, with a degree of support from their families and the wider community, and then depicts their own horror-laden realization that there was probably no way back into society after that decision. The importance of the value of truth in the narrative is indicated by the inclusion of ‘true’ in the title. Carey convinces because he portrays Kelly in a series of classic tropes (that of Oedipus, the peon farmer who will be oppressed no longer, the virgin lover, and the rebel leader).1 These tropes are timeless and are present in the myths of most cultures in one form or another: they are constantly referred to in films and in popular literature.

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

Unlike many of the other British colonies such as India and Africa, due to its demographics the Australian colonies by and large remained absent from nineteenth-century racial violence, thus allowing greater possibilities for economic advancement and social rehabilitation of disenfranchised English populations.
