AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In The Reading Nation of the Romantic Period, William St Clair described most literary history as “a parade of great names described from a commentator’s box set high above the marching column,” or “the open parliament with all the members participating and listening.” Instead of following these models based on arbitrary selections from modern points-of-view, St Clair urges researchers to investigate the literature that most people actually read. While Elizabeth Morrison might not have directly followed this advice, her book on the life and work of Donald Cameron draws attention to the pages actually read by many Australians, providing her reader with a relatively unknown and unique view of colonial literary production, one that demonstrates how much more there is to know when we look beyond the “parade of great names.”' (Introduction)
