  • Book History in Australia Since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1
    Book History in Australia since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1, Oxford History of the Novel in English: The Novel in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1950. Edited by Coral Howells, Paul Sharrad and Gerry Turcotte. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. Publication of Australian novels and discussion of this phenomenon have long been sites for the expression of wider tensions between national identity and overseas influence characteristic of postcolonial societies. Australian novel publishing since 1950 can be roughly divided into three periods, characterized by the specific, and changing, relationship between national and non-national influences. In the first, the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels, and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas. Yet a local industry also emerged, driven by often contradictory impulses of national sentiment, and demand for American-style pulp fiction. In the second period, the 1970s and 1980s, cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes supported the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and—along with the increasing globalization of publishing—enabled the entry of large, multinational enterprises into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the final period, since the 1990s. Nevertheless, these decades have also witnessed the ongoing development and consolidation of local publishing of Australian novels— including in new forms of e-publishing and self-publishing—as well as continued government and social support for this activity, and for Australian literature more broadly.

  • A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature
    Australia and Its German-Speaking Readers: A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature OLIVER HAAG Austrian Research Centre for Transcultural Studies, Vienna Australian literature is marketed not only to a national audience but also to an overseas readership, who consume it both in English and in various languages of translation, of which German seems to be the most common.1 The publication of translated Australian books thus undergoes marketing processes similar to those in Australia. One of the most immediate publishing mechanisms is the physical appearance of a book, or what Gerard Genette terms the ‘publisher’s peritexts’ (16); that is, the texts that ‘surround’ the actual text, such as book covers. Dust jackets in particular establish the first act of engagement between an author—or more properly, the author’s words—and his or her prospective readers: ‘Your potential reader will form an impression of your book while looking at the cover—before they even decide to look inside’ (Masterson 161). Thus, in making a particular book palatable for a prospective readership, publishers2 shape the story with a vision of the reader in mind: first, they advertise the text through its cover illustration and blurb, both of which usually reflect and summarise the content; secondly, in so doing, publishers develop an image of prospective readers. They evaluate readers’ tastes and assess their target readers, including their age, level of education, and gender; then, based on such assessments, they develop strategies for marketing a book to this particular group of intended readers. Furthermore, Genette argues that such practices are ‘made up of a heterogeneous group of practices and discourses of all kinds and dating from all periods’ (2).

Though Vanessa initially assures Lila that she only wants weekend visits with P. Elliott had learnt first-hand what it was like to be trapped in the middle of such a war. Thanks for telling us about the problem. You can get your custom paper from our expert writers. It is a milange of emotions slowly heating until boiling point is reached. The persona of Vanessa illustrates the impact childhood experiences can have on the psyche later in life. Metacritic Reviews. George Colleen Clifford PS has been raised by his aunt Lila Nevin and her husband George since his mother died soon after his birth. I was so on the edge of my seat when it got close to the verdict that I skipped a few pages and then wanted to throw the book across the room when I read the decision From " Veronica Mars " to Rebecca take a look back at the career of Armie Hammer on and off the screen. John Hargreaves, as PS' still mostly absent father, was nobly worthless, which explained so much. By the time he published his first novel, Elliott had spent 25 years writing first radio serials in Australia and then live television dramas in New York City. What it gains, perhaps, in retrospect is a historian's view of an Australia long gone but still casting shadows over us all.

  • Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott
    ‘The Writers’ Picnic’: Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott SHAUN BELL University of New South Wales I wanted to begin this essay with a well-known anecdote recounting the dinner party Patrick White and Manoly Lascaris held in their Martin Road home for Sumner Locke Elliott. Elliott’s biographer Sharon Clarke suggests that this anecdote is ‘told so often . some have declared it fiction’ (‘Writing Life’ 239).1 As with a fictional event, there are conflicting interpretations of the evening—Clarke called it ‘a great success,’ yet David Marr’s biography of White doesn’t mention the evening at all. White had greatly admired Elliott’s third novel, Edens Lost, calling it ‘marvellous,’ noting the ‘atmosphere and place, tone of voice, and the characters—above all the characters’ (Altman, ‘Crushed’). White had said as much to Elliott’s friend and fellow New Yorker Shirley Hazzard but despite this, the admiration and affection Elliott expected were absent; second hand accounts suggest that it was a ‘quiet’ and ‘awkward’ evening, and Elliott felt ignored. The punchline (as it were) of the anecdote sees Elliott leaving the party dejected. He recounts: After saying our goodbyes, with Patrick standing at the top of the stair, I began walking back down and I heard him cry behind me: ‘Come back! Come back!’ As I was returning to New York within the following days, I thought he meant to Australia and perhaps even to visit with him and Manoly again. So, with my back still to him, and wanting to immediately reassure him, I also called out my reply.
