AbstractHistoryArchive Description

French abstract for 2009 edition:

'Du récit à valeur documentaire sous l'époque coloniale jusqu'à la tendance contemporaine de l'illustration graphique, le roman australien a connu un essor spectaculaire en à peine plus d'un siècle et demi. Pourtant, malgré la renommée internationale des auteurs comme Richard Flanagan, Thomas Keneally, Morris West, Patrick White ou Colleen McCullough, la littérature australienne demeure mal connue du public francophone.

'Ce panorama du roman australien des origines à nos jours propose, pour la première fois, une introduction générale à la littérature australienne. Les courants, les auteurs et les oeuvres majeurs sont présentés de manière didactique et chronologique. L'auteur retrace également les métamorphoses du genre romanesque en Australie et propose une analyse originale des six seuils qui jalonnent son évolution.

'Ce livre constitue ainsi une somme encyclopédique consacrée à la littérature des antipodes.' (Publisher's blurb)

English abstract for 2010 edition:

'Written originally for a French audience to inform them about the richness of Australian writing, The Great Australian Novel - A Panorama now appears in a remastered English version. It is a story of Australia, its people and ideas, its history and geography as revealed through the exciting genre of the Australian novel.

'As the title indicates, the book has an innovative cinematic structure containing 35 inserts: Close-ups of an author, low-angle shots for the greats - novels and/or authors, panoramic views for themes or the career of specific writers and bonus items such as a bibliography and an index.

'The author speaks directly to the reader in a free-flowing narrative that is concerned with involving the reader emotionally and intellectually. Highlighted along the way are contributions by women, non-Anglophone and Aboriginal authors, as well as the most recent trends in writing.

'A timely book for the general reader that will stimulate an interest in Australian literature.' (From the Pan Macmillan website, for the 2010 English version.)
