Handbook description

This subject combines the in-depth study of Australian literature with the practice of literature. It examines key tropes in Australian fiction over the past 100 years with particular emphasis on 'the beach', 'the outback', 'the city' and 'the road'. It also explores the ways in which indigenousness, diaspora, class and gender have influenced and continue to shape Australia's literary identity.
