The study examines exploration in Voss. It shows that the novel absorbs (and contests) a variety of literary genres, starting as a «chronicle» and ending up as a parable. The literary transformation enables the reader to understand White’s historical novel as a parable of the writer’s exploration of Australia in the 1950s.
