For most of the postwar period, Australian literary debate was
marked by the division between radical nationalists on the Left and
cultural conservatives on the Right. John McLaren??'s broad
cultural history traces the origins of these conflicts, discusses
key literary works and major journals, and focuses on the
individuals involved in various sagas and struggles. McLaren shows
that writing became a form of politics itself, expressing either
hope or fear about the revolution that was perceived to be
imminent, as well as reflecting society more broadly. The work of
politically committed writers is closely examined, as is the
response to ostensibly unpolitical writers. McLaren also considers
the new journalism and the work of younger poets. He shows that it
was not until the changes brought by the 1960s and the Whitlam
government that literature was truly freed from these constraints.
