Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature's connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarter and Osborne examine how Australian authors, editors and publishers engaged productively with their American counterparts, and how American readers and reviewers responded to Australian works. They consider the role played by British publishers and agents in taking Australian writing to America, and creating new opportunities for novelists to move between markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of these writers, such as Christina Stead and Patrick White, remain household names; others who once enjoyed international fame, such as Dale Collins and Alice Grant Rosman, have been largely forgotten. The story of their books in America reveals how culture, commerce and copyright law interacted to create both opportunities and obstacles for Australian writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Carter, Roger Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1743325797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781743325797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.78d","brand":"David Carter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311150682367,"sku":"9781743325797","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c826dd81-ce9e-4d97-a848-bf749aaefa90.jpg?v=1730888583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/australian-books-and-authors-in-david-carter-9781743325797","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
