Biography
Marion May Campbell was born in Sydney, New South Wales, 1948.[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 her post-graduate study at Aix en Provence, writing a dissertation on the work of Stéphane Mallarmé and completed a PhD in Literary Studies and Creative Writing at Victoria University in 2011.[3]
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 Home which was first performed in 1990 and an adaption of Not Being Miriam entitled Ariadne's Understudies in 1991.
In 2013, Campbell was appointed Associate Professor of Professional and Creative Writing at Deakin University. Campbell has previously coordinated the creative writing program at the University of Melbourne.
