Drawing on Bernd Mahr's model theory, this volume introduces a new
approach to Romanticism in contemporary Australian literature.
Focusing on two very different authors, David Malouf and the
Indigenous poet Samuel Wagan Watson, this book highlights their
similarities rather than their differences. It is the first
book-length study dedicated specifically to each author's poetic
oeuvre. Comprehensive readings reveal that an ironic dialectic
underpins how each poet writes from within a disjunct of culture
and environment following colonisation, finding hope in dialogue
and a productive process of negative assertion. The theoretical
framing of Romanticism developed here effectively rehabilitates
Romanticism as a productive paradigm in contemporary Australian
poetry.
