Unicorns on Rocks: The Expressionism of Olive Schreiner by Peter Knox-Shaw is a literary analysis that interprets the work of Olive Schreiner through the lens of expressionism. The article argues that Schreiner’s writing expresses deep psychological and symbolic meaning, using metaphors — such as “unicorns on rocks” — to show how Schreiner evokes subjective inner experience, imaginative landscapes, and emotional intensity. It situates Schreiner’s work within broader discussions of modernist and expressionist aesthetics, exploring how her narratives project internal conflicts, philosophical vision, and individual perception onto external imagery.
