His novels and short stories are widely studied in schools and universities, and have been lauded by critics both in Australia and internationally. Unusually for an Australian literary author, he is also one of the country's most enduringly popular writers: \u003cem\u003eCloudstreet\u003c\/em\u003e was voted 'Australia's favourite book' in a poll conducted by the ABC, his books regularly appear on bestseller lists, and his stories have been adapted for the stage, television, cinema and opera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this wide-ranging study of Winton's work and career, McCredden considers how Winton has sustained a strong mainstream following while exploring complex themes and moving between genres. Attending to both secular and sacred frames of reference, she considers his treatment of class, gender, place, landscape and belonging, and shows how a compassion for human falling and redemption permeates his work. She demonstrates how his engagement with these recurring ideas has deepened and changed over time, and how he has moved between - and challenged - the categories of the 'popular' and the 'literary'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51782492979488,"sku":"9781743325032","price":39.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/47cf897f01abb6ddd09348d855c48f33.webp?v=1780572353","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-fiction-of-tim-winton-earthed-and-sacred-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
