Novelists, poets and playwrights have lived here; readers have pored over books, sharing them and discussing them; literary celebrities have visited and sometimes stayed; writers have encouraged each other and fought with each other.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adelaide is literary, too, in the sense of having been written about--sometimes with love, sometimes with scorn. Literature has been important not only to the city's cultural life but to its identity, to the way it has been seen and, most importantly, to the way it has seen itself. \u003cem\u003eAdelaide: a literary city \u003c\/em\u003ebroadens and deepens our understanding of Adelaide as a city of creativity and culture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors include Philip Butterss, Kerryn Goldsworthy, Anne Black, Graham Tulloch, Susan Sheridan, Jill Roe, Peter Kirkpatrick, Alison Broinowski, Betty Snowden, Nicholas Jose, Jill Jones and Gillian Dooley.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdelaide: a literary city\u003c\/em\u003e also includes the full text of Geoffrey Dutton's major poem, \u003cem\u003eNew York Nowhere: Meditations and Celebrations, Neurology Ward, The New York Hospital.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Butterss Philip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922064637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922064639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Adelaide Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Butterss Philip","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486325158143,"sku":"9781922064639","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8dc6db12-c286-4960-8cc2-b0268d3d52be.jpg?v=1778054899","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adelaide-butterss-philip-9781922064639","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
