AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Robert Dixon welcomes Paul Eggert's empirically-driven research into the formation of the literary canon in nineteenth century Australia. Dixon believes some wider questions remain to be asked: 'The reading of Australian literature is bound up with broader questions about reading literature in Australia. To put this another way, we probably will not fully understand Australian literature until it is seen as part of the broader political economy of literature in Australia.'
