Notes
The fourth novel of Australian novelist and communist organiser Katharine Susannah Prichard (1883-1969). 'For Miles Franklin it represented 'the breaking of a drought' for the Australian novel. A passionate, lyrical celebration of the intuitive lives of the small community of timber-getters in the Western Australian karri forests, Working Bullocks reflects both Lawrence and Hardy in its symbolic patterns as well as demonstrating the explicit, if idealized, Australianisms of Prichard's fiction.' (Australian Dictionary of Biography). Library Hub records 7 copies.
