AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The author explores what Australia represents specifically for a writer from overseas with Australia not only as a subject but also as potential muse or inspiration. Topics include the definition of the nation-state as a monopoly on the exercise of violence, if Australian writers are big enough to critique Australia itself and to listen to someone from overseas critiquing their motherland, and the role of the tyranny of distances in shaping Australian national self-consciousness.'
