Letterature
''Apart from this present compilation, then, there appear to be no collections of verse - letters written by men in the personas of women since Ovid's Heroides. I found this quite surprising, because to my accomplished literary taste, such a verse - letter has a number of quite useful qualities, all of which I've drawn upon for the letters and diary - entries and reports that I've retrospectively placed in the hands of some exceptional Australian women.'' - Timoshenko Aslanides

The Littoral Zone
In this, the first collection of ecocritical essays devoted to Australian contexts and their writers, Australian and US scholars explore the transliteration of land and sea through the works of Australian authors and through their own experiences. The littoral zone is the starting point in this fresh approach to reading literature organised around the natural environment—rainforest, desert, mountains, coast, islands, Antarctica. There’s the beach, where sexual and spiritual crises occur; the Western Australian wheatbelt; deserts, camel trekking, and the transformation of a salt flat into an inland island; New Age literature that ‘appropriates’ Aboriginal culture as the healing poulti...
