Resourceful Reading re-examines and re-invigorates Australian literary criticism and history by integrating traditional, qualitative approaches to literary studies with empirically-rich methodologies including data-mining and quantitative analysis. This community aims to contribute to AustLit as well as to maximize the potential of this important, data-rich resource.
Data resulting from five separate but linked research projects was the digital end product of Resourceful Reading.
The five linked projects were :
– Professor Gillian Whitlock's Late 20th Century Anthologies
– Professor Gillian Whitlock's Asylum Seeker Narratives
– Professor Robert Dixon's Australian Literature in the 'Translation Zone'
– Professor Leigh Dale's Australian Newspaper Reviews of 1930
– Dr. Katherine Bode's Reading by Numbers
More information on each project can be found in the individual project pages.
