The Development of Australian Literature is a seminal work on the history and evolution of Australian literature, written by Henry Gyles Turner in 1898. The book explores the emergence of Australian literature from its colonial roots, tracing its development through the 19th century and into the early 20th century. Turner provides a comprehensive analysis of the major literary figures and movements that shaped Australian literature, including the bush poets, the nationalist writers, and the early modernists. He also examines the social and political contexts in which Australian literature developed, including the impact of colonialism, the struggle for independence, and the changing cultural landscape of Australia. The Development of Australian Literature is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Australian literature and the cultural identity of Australia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
