Although the content chiefly focuses on Australia, the beach as both a location and idea resonates deeply with readers around the world. This edited collection includes three sections. Forms of Beach Writing examines the history of beach writing in Australia and in a number of forms: screenwriting, social media writing, and food writing. In turn, Multiplicities of Australian Beach Writing examines how forms of writing-poetry, travel writing, horror film, and memoir-engage with some specific beaches in Australia. And, finally, Reading the Beach as a Text considers how the beach itself functions in cultural narratives: how we walk the beach; the revealing story of beach soccer; and the design and use of ocean baths. Givenits scope, the collection offers a unique resource for scholars of Australian culture and creative writing, and for all those interested in Australian beaches. . 606 $aCulture 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aCultural geography 606 $aAustralasian Culture 606 $aSocial and Cultural Geography 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aCultural geography. 615 14$aAustralasian Culture. 615 24$aSocial and Cultural Geography. 676 $a919.4009146 676 $a306.099 702 $aEllison$b Elizabeth$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBrien$b Donna Lee$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484467503321 996 $aWriting the Australian Beach$92161931 997 $aUNINA
