Australian Studies: A Survey
No Customer Reviews
This collection of thematically interrelated essays examines Australian studies within the larger framework of contemporary humanities and social sciences, and more specifically, as a "national" field of study. Considering the nature of "new" societies to produce vernacular literatures, Walter analyzes Australian constructions of literature, politics, and history and the problem of reconciling a parent culture (metropolis) and its offshoot (periphery). He argues that the persistent motif of a "national" literature is always posed in parallel to broader literary and cultural debates.
