Dark, Eleanor, 1901-1985.
The timeless land / Eleanor Dark. (1941, Sydney : Collins, 1963)
The Timeless Land is the first volume in Dark’s trilogy which also included
Storm of Time (1948) and No Barrier (1953). Dark is perhaps best known to many readers for these three novels which trace the development of European settlement in Australia, 1788-1814. Based on extensive historical research, the trilogy is notable for Dark’s attempts to acknowledge Australia’s indigenous past and to include race conflict as a dimension of the settlement.
Storm of Time covers the first five years of European settlement and also explores the relationship between Governor Phillip and Bennelong.
