'The Transported Imagination: Australian Interwar Magazines and the Geographical Imaginaries of Colonial Modernity is a timely and significant addition to the field of periodical studies in Australia, which has seen an increasing amount of academic focus in recent years. The innovative and instructive uses of Trove, as well as a deepening understanding of the role periodicals played in the development of Australian literary culture and production, has led to the burgeoning of periodical study in both quantitative and qualitative directions. The Transported Imagination builds on the groundbreaking work of such researchers as David Carter, Robert Dixon and Roger Osborne as well as the work on island spatiality of Elizabeth McMahon and engages in a qualitative, focused deep-dive on three interwar periodicals, The BP Magazine, The Home and MAN.'
