Australian literature has explored these controlling alternatives, and vividly rendered the landscape on which they transpire. Twentieth-century writers left Australia to see the world; now Australia's distance no longer provides sanctuary. But today the global perspective has arrived with a vengeance. In Contemporary Australian Literature: A World Not Yet Dead, Nicholas Birns tells the story of how novelists, poets and critics, from Patrick White to Hannah Kent, from Alexis Wright to Christos Tsiolkas, responded to this condition. With rancour, concern and idealism, modern Australian literature conveys a tragic sense of the past yet an abiding vision of the way forward. Birns paints a vivid picture of a rich Australian literary voice - one not lost to the churning of global markets, but in fact given new life by it. 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Exiles' writings|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Expatriate authors|zAustralia. 650 0 Authors, Australian|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Australian literature|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 7 Australian literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00821454 650 7 Authors, Australian.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00821807 650 7 Exiles' writings.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00918152 650 7 Expatriate authors.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00918315 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / Australian & Oceanian.|2bisacsh 650 7 Literature and literary studies.|2bicssc 650 7 Literature: history and criticism.|2bicssc 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204543 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |cOriginal|z9781743324363|z1743324367|w(OCoLC)917890065 830 0 Sydney studies in Australian literature. 994 C0|bSTJ
