Funded Activity Summary

Dorothy Hewett: A literary biography. This project will produce the first biography of the major Australian playwright, novelist and poet Dorothy Hewett. Employing archival records and new oral histories against and alongside Hewett's own literary construction of her life, in many genres, this project combines literary and historical biography in an innovative approach to recreating her life and career. Rethinking Hewett's legacy, this project provides a new understanding of her widely studied body of work and enriches the cultural history of twentieth-century Australia. It will produce a substantial study of the life of an extraordinary Australian writer, for scholarly and general readers, enlivening Australia's literary heritage for a new generation.
