Abstract:
CHRISTINA STEAD (1902-1983) is a major Australian woman writer, and this thesis explores one of the least known periods in her life and work, the years she spent in the United States (1937- 7946). During this time she wrote her two best known novels, The Man Who Loved Children and For Love Alone, both based on autobiographical material. This study explores contextual aspects of Stead's life and work in New York, drawing on a considerable amount of new material. (Chapters I and II) During this period Stead wrote partly out of a personal need to understand her own life situation, and psychological readings of three novels, The Man who Loved Children, For Love Alone and Letty Fox, seen as a 'father trilogy', are designed to open up new lines of enquiry into aspects of all of these novels. (Chapters III and IV) The thesis also discusses formal aspects of Stead's work, beginning with her own formulation of an esthetics of the novel, which occurred during a course she gave in New York in 1943 called Workshop in the Novel. (Chapter V) The relevance of this course for her own practice as a novelist is also explored, with particular reference to the two later American novels A Little TeA, A Little Chat and, The People with The Dogs. (Chapter VI) In Chapter VII an exploration of Stead's interest in the genre of the novella, focussing on the collection The Puzzleheaded Girl, continues the formal lines of enquiry opened up in the previous two chapters, and in the following chapter the same collection provides a starting point for a consideration of Stead's deep interest in the situation of women in modern society, especially the recurrent figure of the wanderer or female rebel. The last chapter concentrates on the literary self-portraits which appeared in Stead's American fiction after The Man who Loved Children and For Love Alone, and their curiously limited characterization is compared with the more vigorous portrait of her provided in one of the novels of her husband, William Blake. This thesis, then, argues that Stead's life fed her fiction, especially in her American period, and that her work was part of a broader personal quest. Understanding this quest is relevant to a discussion of her literary style, and to her personal use of autobiographical material in her fiction, and it illuminates aspects of the creative process itself. Stead's need to understand her own life not only shaped her fiction, it also provided it with the 'intelligent ferocity' she aimed for, and resulted in a major 'realist' writer.

Abstract:
Bibliography: pages 205-231.
This dissertation locates Christina Stead as a woman writer, who interrogates, both mimetically and poetically, the ideology of the dominant literary tradition. Because the formal narrative strategies, subtexts, and repressed discourses reveal inscriptions of Christina Stead's gender, the issues of language and power are central. A humanist feminist who anticipates a close bond between reader and text fails to overcome the problem of those narrative modes which alienate the readers of Stead's novels. Only a textual feminist who foregrounds the ideology of form recognizes that Stead's methods are dislocating in order to produce a reader who participates in the narrative process itself. For Stead, both women and men are entrapped within the prison-house of language, which becomes the locus of power struggles. The embedded artworks of four women artists, speak and write against the realism of the dominant discourse in the women's desires to assert their own sexuality, to postpone death, to connect with maternal figures, and to undermine androcentrism. These women, and others in Stead's canon, speak their difference. Male genderlects, however, attest to their dominance, endorsing an ideology of oppression in their competitiveness, their narcissism, and their theorizing. Christina Stead, herself, like the women artists she depicts, uses metaphor variously. She has metaphor convey the sexuality of the female characters and subvert the metaphorical commonplaces of the dominant tradition. Other metaphors reveal transcendent impulses, seemingly at odds with the narratives' usual deterministic ethos. In the plots and their endings Christina Stead also negotiates with the norms of the dominant literature. The formal structures correlate with the patterns of the characters' lives either in Bildungsromanen or in novels of repetition which metonymize deathly compulsions. Thus a reading which foregrounds narrative and gender, particularly in the embedded artworks, genderlects, metaphor, plot and closure, depicts a Christina Stead who has never been comprehended by masculist critics who fail to take cognizance of the woman writer's desires to combat the dominant literary tradition.

Abstract:
La notion d'espace dans les oeuvres de christina stead est traitee tant a un niveau cognitif qu7a un niveau affectif. Nous etudions l'etre, non pas d'une facion abstraite mais en tant qu'etre incarne dans un milieu. Il y a une interdependance entre l'environnement physique et social, aussi bien que psychique. Le cadre physique joue un role structurant dans les phenomenes de la perception et de la representation spatiale de soi dans un lieu et une periode determines. L'espace personnel, qui varie d'un individu a l'autre, est fondamental pour la preservation de la personnalite. De l'espace sensible on passe a l'imaginaire, un sentiment d(immense nostalgie de l'illimite que nous eprouvons, une compulsion a partir sur de vastes oceans tout en contemplant le ciel etoile au-dessus de nous. Cette zone de voyage et d'exploration, ce desir d'aller vers l'inconnu n'est pas un concept theorique mais un etat d'ame qui determine la difference entre moi et le monde. Il y a une dialectique de l'expansion et du repli sur soi-meme que l'on trouve dans tous les personnages de christina stead. Toutefois, on ne peut se replier dans un monde imaginaire et tout elan createur n'a de signification que s'il s'accompagne d'ouvertures au monde ; c'est pourquoi christina stead a ete surnommee "a waker and dreamer"
The notion of space in the works of christina stead is being studied on the cognitive and affective level. Man is not analysed from an abstract point of view but as being part of his surroundings. There is an interdependence between his physical, social and psychological environment. His sense of perception and his self-image are largely affected by the physical factors around him, the place and the particular period in which he lives. Each individual creates his own personal space or buffer zone which varies from one individual to the other and is fundamental for the preservation of personality. His field of the perceptive and sensitive is also extended to the imaginary. There is that usual nostalgic feeling of the unlimited space, this compulsion to travel on the wide oceans whilst gazing at the stars. This desire to explore and go towards the unknown is not a theoretical concept but what we call our soul, that which determines the difference between the self and the world. There is a dialectic between expansion and withdrawal which we find in all christina stead's characters, yet one cannot live in his inner space, his imaginary world and his vital impulse has meaning only if it opens up to the world, that is why christina stead has been surnamed "a waker and dreamer"

Abstract:
This thesis examines the fiction of Christina Stead by applying a polyphonic theory of narrative to her presentation of women. A concentration on discourse analysis reveals the development of an artistry which experiments with narrative structures while at the same time focussing increasingly on the female protagonist. The hypothesis is that Christina Stead is a writer creating unique variations of literary form which make her texts highly structured works of art. Her narratives explore a range of issues pertaining to the position of human beings in communities uniformly portrayed as unforgiving of any weakness. Cosmopolitan in her approach to life and literature, she depicts Australian, European, British and American society with equally ironic perception. The thesis considers how female protagonists are presented, concentrating on discourse analysis to show the interrelationships among the various narrative voices in the texts. Commencing with a demonstration of the use of classic polyphonic structures in the early novels, the thesis moves to demonstrate how the authorial narrator tends to identify in later works with the female personae. In spite of this tendency, the thesis shows polyphonic structures are evident throughout Stead's how corpus as a whole. By focussing the narrative analysis on the author's consistent attention to the roles of women, a double goal is being pursued: an investigation of her narrative techniques as well as her vision of available social and emotional roles for women. With this twin perspective acting as critical frame the thesis addresses the author's whole oeuvre. with shifting emphasis and detail as considered relevant, and in so doing attempts to fill a significant gap in the research on Christina Stead available to date.

Frugtneit, Jane. "F.O.O.D. (fighting order over disorder): an analysis of food and its significance in the Australian novels of Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley." Thesis, 2007. https://researchonline.jcu.edu.au/2022/1/01front.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to find a correlation between food as symbol and food as necessity, as represented in selected Australian novels by Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Food as a springboard to a unique interpretation of the selected novels has been under-utilised in academic research. Although comparatively few novels were selected for study, on the basis of fastidiousness, they facilitated a rigorous hermeneutical approach to the interpretation of food and its inherent symbolism. The principle behind the selection of these novels lies in the complexity of the prose and how that complexity elicits the “transformative powers of food” (Muncaster 1996, 31). The thesis examines both the literal and metaphorical representations of food in the novels and relates how food is an inextricable part of ALL aspects of life, both actual and fictional. Food sustains, nourishes and, intellectually, its many components offer unique interpretative tools for textual analysis. Indeed, the overarching structure of the thesis is analogous with the processes of eating, digestion and defecation. For example, following a discussion of the inextricable link between food, quest and freedom in Chapter One, which uncovers contrary attitudes towards food in the novels discussed, the thesis presents a more complex psychoanalytic theory of mental disorders related to food in Chapter Two. The peripatetic nature of the mind and body and how this relates to food are reflected in the following chapter, which considers the nexus between dietetics, numerology and lexicology. A unique methodology is promulgated to examine how binaries such as black/white, reality/illusion and day/night are constructed, and how these relate to the significance of food in colonisation fiction. The final chapter relocates food to the corporeal through an examination of food in art and considers how this representation relates to defecation. Ultimately, the argument underscores the significance of food in literature, by showing that in their many facets references to food are a multi-interpretative tool for producing an aetiological and phenomenological discussion. To conclude, food is from somewhere, it is a commodity, and in literature food is going somewhere.
