Descrição: Writing in 1938, the Australian anthropologist W.E. Stanner noted that the thought, culture and even the literature of his country had scarcely been affected by the life and death of its indigenous people. 'There are no epics on the last of the tribes', he stated, adding that in general Australian culture had remained almost innocent of any touch which was Aboriginal in origin or derivation ('The Aborigines' 2-4). Aboriginal people, he later concluded, had been subject to 'something like a cult of forgetfulness practiced on a national scale' ('After the Dreaming' 214). Stanner's judgment was not entirely accurate. Some Australian writers had dealt with Aboriginal themes in the years before the Second World War.
