The women discuss their work as writers, their political views and activities and the turmoils and banalities of their personal lives, in letters that are funny, serious, often beautifully written and at times breathtakingly honest and moving. From the early notes of mutual support to the rich correspondence of long-held friendships, these letters offer a unique and intimate perspective on these extraordinary women. At the same time, the collection forms a narrative and commentary on the literary, social and political events of these turbulent years that witnessed the Depression, the Second World War and the beginnings of the Cold War. Annotated and complemented by Carole Ferrier's background information and careful editing, this collection will be fascinating to anyone with an interest in Australia's cultural history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Notes on editorial philosophy and practice\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Letters\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Biographical notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography of correspondents' main published works\u003cbr\u003e Location of letters\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Note on sources.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Anthologies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Anthologies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Anthologies%20%5Bnon-poetry%5D%20%5BDQ%5D%22\"\u003enon-poetry DQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46066006262040,"sku":"9780521576338","price":41.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521576338i.jpg?v=1691408749","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/as-good-as-a-yarn-with-you-letters-between-miles-franklin-katharine-susannah-prichard-jean-devanny-marjory-barnard-flora-eldershaw-and-eleanor-dark-paperback-9780521576338","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
