Locating Australian Literary Memory (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Locating Australian Literary Memory' explores sites which are explicitly connected with eleven Australian authors through material forms of commemoration such as houses, graves, statues and assorted artefacts. While acknowledging the value of literary memorials and the voluntary labour that enables their construction and preservation, it argues for an expanded repertoire of practices to recognise authors who have been overlooked.
