Abstract

The paper argues that landscape has always been central to the construction of gender in our war fiction, as it is essential to any attemps to re-define or to contest the prevailing gender ideology, with reference to Oliver Hogue's Trooper Bluegum at the Dardanelles, Gladys Adeline Hain's The Coo-ee Contingent, William Baylebridge's An Anzac Muster, D. H. Lawrence's Kangaroo and David Malouf's war novels.
