Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Bride from the Bush" by E. W. Hornung is a novel published in 1890. Written while Hornung worked as a tutor in rural Australia, the story critiques British society by presenting it through an Australian lens. The novel sparked debate about its portrayal of the titular Australian bride, with some calling her a libel to Australian women while others praised her character. Critics noted the work's "piquant contrast between civilization and crudity," exploring cultural tensions between the two worlds.
