The Cambridge Companion to the Australian Novel provides a clear,
lively, and accessible account of the novel in Australia. The
chapters of this book survey significant issues and developments in
the Australian novel, offer historical and conceptual frameworks,
and provide vivid and original examples of what reading an
Australian novel looks like in practice. The book begins with
novels by literary visitors to Australia and concludes with those
by refugees. In between, the reader encounters the Australian novel
in its splendid contradictoriness, from nineteenth-century settler
fiction by women writers through to literary images of the
Anthropocene, from sexuality in the novels of Patrick White to
Waanyi writer Alexis Wright's call for a sovereign First Nations
literature. This book is an invitation to students, instructors,
and researchers alike to expand and broaden their knowledge of the
complex histories and crucial present of the Australian novel.
