An Introduction To Australian Fiction by Colin Roderick, M.A. Ref: B2468

Title; An Introduction To Australian Fiction. 
Author/Editor: Colin Roderick, M.A. 
Description: This Introduction to Australian Fiction presents a survey of the whole field of Australian prose fiction from the beginnings to the end of 1949. Much new material has been added to critical comments derived from the earlier books to make a continuous story of the development of the Australian novel and the short story. The author divides this story chronologically into six periods, and adds a chapter on contemporary fiction. Running through each of the chronological divisions is a series of subject sections based on the principal themes of the fiction produced in each period. A basic reading list and comprehensive index enable the reader to trace the development of any particular theme through all periods. Both the student and the general reader will meet in this book the guidance they seek in Australian prose, the student because of its clear and logical exposition, the general reader because of its simple and straightforward style. Both will find it an ample introduction to the works of all Australian writers who have contributed to the ever-growing body of prose literature that is part of our cultural heritage.
