The Uses of Literacy in Colonial Australia - Anthem Studies in Australian History

Relying on autobiographical documents, this book analyses what Australians read in the 19th century, as well as what they wrote, in terms of personal and everyday, non-literary writings. It emphasises the Britishness of colonial society, without forgetting specifically Australian inflections of readers’ responses. Australian reading embraced wide-ranging tastes.
