Abstract
The article explores the representation and critique of gambling in Frank Hardy’s writing. It analyses the prominence of, and changes in the concept of gambling in some of Hardy’s texts. Despite the frequency and persistence of gambling as a literary subject in Hardy’s work, his engagement with this popular activity has received only scant scholarly attention. This is particularly curious, given that gambling is a considerable and still contemporary cultural phenomenon in Australia and beyond. The study offers some possible explanations for this low analytical interest.
