The Enigmatic Christina Stead: a provocative re-reading

Teresa Petersen

    Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

    Abstract

    This work seeks to unravel an enigma presented by Christina Stead in her fiction. Overtly Stead posits a heterosexual norm as the paradigm par excellence. Petersen argues that it is a facade that masks both lesbianism and male homosexual desire.
