The Australian Canon (original) (raw)
The Australian Canon refers to those texts by Australian authors that espouse the values of canonicity. These values are dynamic and contentious but may generally be said to include: timelessness, universal concerns, a unique Australian identity, an authentic representation of what it means to be 'Australian'. Contentious concerns include the emergence of a distinctive Australian literature and arguments about contending literary canons, including the relation between ‘generational canons’, ‘middlebrow’ and ‘academic’ canons, the ‘syllabus’ and the ‘canonical imaginary’.
