The book consciously takes a perspective that sees literary works not as aesthetic objects created in isolation by unique individuals, but as cultural products influenced and constrained by the social, political and economic circumstances of their times, as well as by geographical and environmental factors. It covers indigenous texts, colonial writing and reading, poetry, fiction and theatre throughout two centuries, biography and autobiography, and literary criticism in Australia. Other features of the companion are a chronology listing significant historical and literary events, and suggestions for further reading. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAustralian literature$xHistory and criticism$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aAustralian literature$xHistory and criticism 676 $a820.9/994 702 $aWebby$b Elizabeth 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216714003316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Australian literature$92493377 997 $aUNISA
