Eliza Hamilton Dunlop (1796–1880) arrived in Sydney in 1838 and became almost immediately notorious for her poem “The Aboriginal Mother,” written in response to the infamous Myall Creek massacre. She published more poetry in colonial newspapers during her lifetime, but for the century following her death her work was largely neglected. In recent years, however, critical interest in Dunlop has increased, in Australia and internationally and in a range of fields, including literary studies; settler, postcolonial and imperial studies; and Indigenous studies.This stimulating collection of essays by leading scholars considers Dunlop's work from a range of perspectives and includes a new selection of her poetry.

'A marked feature of the collection is the contributors’ investment in tracing the biographical, literary, political and publication histories of Dunlop’s writing ... [The book is] an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as ensuring its contribution not only to studies of Dunlop, but also to future scholarship of colonial women’s writing, global Romanticism, Australian literature, periodical studies and settler-colonial studies.'
