It is orientated around eleven authors - Adam Lindsay Gordon, Joseph Furphy, Henry Handel Richardson, Henry Lawson, A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson, Nan Chauncy, Katharine Susannah Prichard, Eleanor Dark, P. L. Travers, Kylie Tennant and David Unaipon - who have all been celebrated through a range of forms including statues, huts, trees, writers' houses and assorted objects.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrigid Magner illuminates the social memory residing in these monuments and artefacts, which were largely created as bulwarks against forgetting. Acknowledging the value of literary memorials and the voluntary labour that enables them, she traverses the many contradictions, ironies and eccentricities of authorial commemoration in Australia, arguing for an expanded repertoire of practices to recognise those who have been hitherto excluded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924881490078,"sku":"ING-9781785271076","price":124.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781785271076.jpg?v=1782954754","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781785271076","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
