A bold work of synthetic scholarship, Writing Australian
Unsettlement argues that the history of Australian literature
contains the rough beginnings of a new literacy. Michael Farrell
reads songs, letters and visual poems by Indigenous farmers and
stockmen, the unpunctuated journals of early settler women, drover
tree-messages and carved clubs, and a meta-commentary on settlement
from Moore River (the place escaped from in The Rabbit-Proof Fence)
in order to rethink old forms. The book borrows the figure of the
assemblage to suggest the active and revisable nature of Australian
writing, arguing against the "settling" effects of its prior
editors, anthologists, and historians. Avoiding the advancement of
a new canon, Farrell offers instead an unsettled space in which to
rethink Australian writing.
