Description

Writing in Australia has always provided a compelling forum for social anxieties and ongoing crises in a fragile national identity. This unit explores the relation between Australian society and the forms of culture it has produced, examining novels, poetry, short stories, theatre and film from 1900 to the present. 'Literature' is broadly conceived through its functions as social critique or social 'settlement'.
