Islands, Identity and the Literary Imagination

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Australia is the planet's sole island continent. This book argues that the uniqueness of this geography has shaped Australian history and culture, including its literature. Further, it shows how shifting understandings of the island continent shed new light on the relationship between islands and continents in the mapping of modernity.
