Abstract
An in-depth analysis of one of Sarah Campion's most accomplished works in the Burdekin trilogy, consisting of Mo Burdekin, Bonanza and The Pommy Cow, is provided. This passage encapsulates the trilogy's frequent view of the land as resisting a European civilisation corrupted by violence and greed, and futile in its striving.
