A review by ianbanks
The Literature Of Australia by Geoffrey Dutton

4.0

This is another book that I don't know enough about the source material to award it 5 stars. It's comprehensive, although I wish it would spend less time excusing the early efforts of literature in this country and just focus on its merits or lack thereof. Some great essays by people who were in the process of becoming luminaries of the literature they were then chronicling. Illuminates a side of our history that many are unaware of.
