From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marion May Campbell (b. 1948) is a contemporary Australian novelist and academic.

Born in Sydney, New South Wales,[1] Campbell earned a BA in French Literature studying first at the University of New South Wales and completing her degree at the University of Western Australia.[2] She then pursued post-graduate study at Aix en Provence, writing a dissertation on the work of Stéphane Mallarmé.

Campbell's novels explore professional and personal relationships between women and literary theoretical concerns, often in a non-standard 'experimental' writing style. In addition to novels her work includes short fiction, poetry, and essays and reviews for journals. For the stage, Campbell has written the musical theatre piece Dr Memory in the Dream House which was first performed in 1990 and an adaption of Not Being Miriam entitled Ariadne's Understudies in 1991.

Campbell currently coordinates the creative writing program at the University of Melbourne.
