Abstract
The virtual completion of Kangaroo a novel of some 150,000 words, in the space of seven or eight weeks, whilst the novelist and his wife were staying in New South Wales, represents a tour de force in rapid composition; at the same time, bearing in mind the brevity of his stay and the highly limited contact he apparently had with Australians, we are inevitably encouraged to speculate about sources of information and imaginative stimulus utilised by Lawrence to supplement his own limited experiences in Australia.1
