AUSTRALIAN WRITERS AND THEIR WORK (OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, MELBOURNE)
Series Note: "This series is designed to provide a concise but informative introduction to a number of Australian novelists, dramatists and critics. Each title gives an account of the subject's life, a survey of his writings, and a critical assessment of his place in Australian literary history. The text is accompanied by notes and a bibliography of the subject's work and selected commentary on it.
In its combination of exposition and evaluation, the series aims to furnish the reader with information helpful to an understanding of the writer's work itself, and to foster sympathetic but judicious assessment of its worth. Although the approach and emphasis vary slightly from subject to subject, the constant purpose of the series is to treat each writer readably and accurately in a manner suitable equally to senior schoolchildren, university students, scholars and the general reader. The author of each title is a scholar or critic chosen for his expert knowledge of the subjects life and work." -- Publisher's blurb
The Australian Writers and their Work series was originally published by the Lansdowne Press, Melbourne. From about the mid-1960s the series was taken over by the Australian branch of Oxford University Press in Melbourne which republished most of the titles and issued revised and updated editions of certain titles.
