Author Description

From convict days to more recent times, Australians have expressed their feelings for each other in letters, poems, songs, and paintings. Drawing on the National Library's extensive collections, Hidden Spaces of the Heart traces the history of love in Australia over the past 200 years. Expressions of love by writers such as Judith Wright, Henry Handel Richardson, and D.H. Lawrence are accompanied by images of love from the Librarys Pictorial Collection in this delightful addition to the Librarys series of little books.
