About the book
"By the Book is a history of the literature of Queensland from its establishment as a separate colony in the mid-nineteenth century through major economic, political and cultural transformation to the beginning of the twenty-first century." "By the Book looks at Queensland literature in terms of its regional cultures, while also devoting chapters to indigenous writing, writing for children and travel writing. In the process it rediscovers lost literary traditions and forgotten writers to stir the imagination. Re-evaluations of early writers like Rosa Praed and George Essex Evans set contemporary writers like David Malouf, Janette Turner Hospital and Venero Armanno in a new context."--Jacket.
