Description: Bulman-May contends that the science of alchemy is a central reference myth in the novels of Patrick White. He traces the application of the alchemical myth from The Aunts Story through The Tree of Man, Voss and Riders in the Chariot to The Solid Mandala, aiming to establish his contention beyond doubt.
