Expressing a New Civilisation : Authorship, Publishing and Reading in the 1890s
2020
single work
criticism
— Appears in: The Routledge Companion to Australian Literature 2020; (p. 9-17)'In the years after 1 January 1901, when ideas of a new Australian civilisation began to emerge in the wake of Federation, two novels emerged from the 1890s to become touchstones for future discussions of Australian literature and Australian literary culture: Miles Franklin’s My Brilliant Career (1901) and Joseph Furphy’s Such Is Life (1903). These novels represent the final moments in a long chain of events that occurred within a complex and dynamic network of individuals and institutions, all claiming some stake, small or large, in the expression and critique of Australian identity at the turn of the twentieth century. By focussing on the process of literary production rather than the product, this chapter aims to draw further attention to the evidence of multiple authorship in Australia’s literary history in order to encourage new readings of the textual, material, and cultural lives of literary works.'
