AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This paper emerges from a panel discussion at the ‘Texts and Their Limits’ conference (2021) between four scholars in the field of Australian regional literary history to consider its current concerns, practices and relationship to the frameworks of Australian literary studies. The panel flagged a renewal of regional literary scholarship in Australia through exploration of the panelists’ own projects and collaborations in regional and rural Victorian and Western Australian communities. Drawing on their reflections on the doing of regional literary history, the conversation canvassed the distinct qualities of contemporary regional Australian literary scholarship; the role of place, situated practice and community engagement in this field; and the implications for the regional literary studies of the always unsettled boundaries and status of the ‘region’ in Australian life.  Following the original panel event, this paper discusses questions such as: what is regional literary history, where is it going, and what are limits?

While this is a “general” issue, as fate would have it our selections—articles and reviews—all intersect around the theme of revisioning: revisioning Australian poetry, theatre, fiction, as well as literary criticism. And with the inauguration of two new sections, showcasing creative writing and the teaching of Australian literature, we are also pleased to present a revisioning of JASAL itself.'
