This landmark two-volume anthology captures the rich literary tapestry of Australia across two centuries. Spanning from colonial beginnings to the cultural shifts of the 1980s, Volume I covers works from the early settlement period through the 1930s, while Volume II continues the journey from the 1930s to the late twentieth century. Kramer’s editorial vision brings together a diverse array of voices—from iconic poets like Henry Lawson and Judith Wright to lesser-known storytellers—offering readers a panoramic view of Australia’s evolving identity through its literature. The collection is notable not only for its breadth and historical scope but also for its careful curation, with each piece selected to reflect the social, political, and emotional landscapes of its time. Lavishly illustrated and thoughtfully indexed, this boxed set stands as both a cultural archive and a celebration of Australia’s literary heritage.
