AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'As Australia has been Britain's largest export market since 1889, it is not surprising that the local book market was dominated and defended by London publishers throughout most of the twentieth century. John McLaren has argued that 'no part of the society maintained the imperial pattern more consistently than the publishers and booksellers who exploited an Australian market held captive by its distance from the owners of capital'.' (Introduction 7)
