AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This thesis measures how the individuals who constitute publishing culture in Australia reflect or construct wider cultural trends through the books they commission. The commissioning role is explored through identity narratives of editors and publishers discussing their experiences in independent book publishing. The thesis argues that approaches to commissioning are critical to an understanding of the cultural forces at work in Australian book publishing.
