Beginning in the last third of the twentieth century, Australian
literary and cultural studies underwent a profound transformation
to become an important testing ground of new ideas and theories.
How do Australian cultural products project a sense of the nation
today? How do Australian writers, artists, and film directors
imagine the Australian heritage and configure its place in a larger
world that extends beyond Australia's shores?
Ranging from the country's colonial beginnings to its more
globally oriented present, the nineteen essays by distinguished
scholars working on the cutting edge of the field present a
multi-faceted view of the vast land down under. A central theme is
the relation of cultural products to nature and history. Issues
explored include problems of race and gender, colonialism and
postcolonialism, individual and national identity, subjective
experience and international connections. Among others, the essays
treat major authors such as Peter Carey, David Malouf, and Judith
Wright.
