Item description from seller

Alexandra Hasluck, Angus and Robertson. Condition remarks:Book: Good , ex-libraryJacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good Markings: Ex-library with usual markingsCondition remarks: mylar layer on jacketA collection of historical short fiction set in colonial Western Australia, Of Ladies Dead: Stories Not in the Modern Manner by Alexandra Hasluck presents intimate portraits of women whose lives were shaped by the harsh realities and social constraints of the nineteenth century. With a tone that is elegiac yet precise, Hasluck chronicles the quiet dramas, resilience, and often overlooked sacrifices of women navigating a frontier society far removed from the comforts of the world they left behind. Drawing on her deep knowledge of Australian colonial history, the author illustrates how gender, class, and geography intersected to define - and frequently confine - the lives of these largely forgotten figures. The prose is measured and evocative, balancing historical authenticity with a storyteller's gift for emotional truth, making each tale feel both intimate and richly grounded in its era.
