 Counterpoint - 3 December 2007 - Henry Lawson
Henry Lawson's stories are widely considered the most distinctively Australian of this country's literary works, with their celebrations of mateship.
And Lawson brings it out in his early stories, I think, magnificently, but it's a different interpretation than the standard one that Lawson is a promoter of bush mateship, nationalism of the utopian kind which The Bulletin and other writers of the 1890s introduced and celebrated.
A lot of the other Lawson stories are very different, the later ones, so it is very hard to get a handle on him and to catch the full Lawson, but what I think in the early stories are particularly impressive.
