Sommario/riassunto

This book uses the model theory as a new way to approach Romanticism in contemporary Australian literature. It explores a model of Romantic irony in the poetry of two contemporary Brisbane poets: David Malouf and the Indigenous author Samuel Wagan Watson. The ironic dialectic is applied to the problem of postcolonial place-making in their work.
