AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This study provides an engaging and persuasive exploration of the myths and realities of “Sydney’s connection to its waterway” through a close examination of five novels from the 1930s and 40s written by female authors (7). Each chapter offers a case study that considers how these novels explore the complexities of urban modernity alongside a wide range of literary, cultural and social “currents” of the interwar period. Across this study as a whole, Meg Brayshaw eloquently argues for the value of more regional or localised studies of modernism that facilitate understandings of modernity “as a phenomenon that is both situated and transcalar, conceptual and embodied” (15).' (Introduction)

For ASAL one of the highlights of 2022 was of course the annual conference. This year’s conference was held in July in Hobart at the University of Tasmania. The title was Coming to Terms, 30 Years On: The Mabo Legacy in Australian Writing. Presenters from around the country and beyond gathered in person and online to consider how the Mabo decision of 1992 has impacted Australian writers and writing in manifold ways. We look forward to showcasing a selection of these papers in our forthcoming conference issue in late 2023.' (Robert Clarke, University of Tasmania Victoria Kuttainen, James Cook University 2022
