Edited and curated by the distinguished poet and critic James McAuley, this anthology presents a carefully selected panorama of twentieth-century Australian verse, charting the major voices, movements, and thematic currents that defined a nation's literary identity — from the raw bush traditions of the early 1900s through to the modernist and post-war innovations that reshaped poetic form and expression.\n\nMcAuley brings to this collection the sharp critical intelligence and deep aesthetic conviction that characterised his own celebrated poetry, arguing persuasively for a canon that is both historically grounded and artistically rigorous. The anthology is accompanied by McAuley's incisive critical commentary, which illuminates the social, cultural, and literary forces at work in each era, making it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and lovers of poetry alike. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume remains a landmark work in Australian literary criticism — one that continues to provoke debate about which voices deserve to be heard, and why.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160996520155,"sku":"2026200014060-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fda89ba4-2c19-41c9-8879-7b64039e79f2.png?v=1787188698","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014060-secondhand-a-map-of-australian-verse-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
