Kendall’s perspective as an Australian poet is engaged in searching the aboriginal identity of Australia. His poetry is the manifestation of his impressionistic sympathy towards the loss of aboriginal culture and history. Australia was a land of enriched culture, but with the colonization, it has lost his cultural richness. So the cultural identity of Australia and its aborigine people is threatened. Therefore, in Australian poetry we can find the urge to regain that traditional cultural identity. The Nationalist orientation is created through the introduction of certain elements that are constantly working as active catalysts in order to comprehend the identity in relation with their own cultural discourse. I would like to highlight that Nationalist aspect in Kendall’s poetry which combines both the culture of Australia and the sentiment of the Aborigine-Australian voice.

The further focus is on Hardy’s effort to stand against the institutionalized notion of ‘Marriage’ and ‘Education’ where the female characters are portrayed as a text that reproduces the history of Victorian society. The paper also questions the strong feeling of Victorian compromise that forces Hardy to stay back. Hardy’s subversive nature is personified in the name of Jude, ultimately submits himself as a scapegoat to the Victorian social construct. Therefore, the paper is dealing with those hidden features that are yet to be explored in hardy.
