' This chapter is based on a specifically compiled database of over 1,000 titles documenting Australian writing on Asia and covering publications from the early nineteenth century to 2019. The primary focus is on works on East Asia, South-East Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Works making only a passing reference to Asia have been excluded. Titles cover the following genres: travel writing, novels, poetry, plays, short stories, records of war correspondents, memoirs from diplomats and others, and the stories of prisoners of war and members of the military. In addition, there is a large category of invasion writing dating from the late nineteenth century to the present. Throughout, works by women writers have been identified. The chapter also documents an impressive body of writing from Australians of Asian heritage who in the twenty-first century are exploring their family and other links to Asia. '
