Disparate visions
the contested homefront worlds of Gwen Harwood, Faith Richmond and Judith Wright (1939–1945)
Raymond Evans
pp. 141-161
This chapter is an examination of contested visions of a shared place. In the garrison city of Brisbane, Queensland, during the years of World War II, three notable female Australian writers, Gwen Harwood, Faith Richmond and Judith Wright, lived or worked in close proximity, although apparently entirely unknown to each other. This chapter explores the life trajectories of each within this timeframe, as well as the ways in which their writings depicted both their varied experiences and their differing impressions of the specific spaces they inhabited within a shared urban place, Australia's third metropolis. The vectors of space, place and time are all intimately in play here.
