Australian Literature Series

The Cambria Australian Literature Series focuses on critical studies of writing by Australians, with a particular emphasis on contemporary Australian fiction. The series aims to provide some of the critical study necessary to support Australian writing and to give sustained consideration of a writer's full career or a particular aspect of Australian literature. In particular, the series places the writing not only within a context of Australian culture but also in the context of international developments in literature.

The general editor of the series is Professor Susan Lever, who has been awarded with life membership of ASAL (Association for the Study of Australian Literature) for her “outstanding contribution to ASAL and to the scholarship of Australian literature more broadly.”

We are interested in proposals for book-length considerations of individual Australian writers with established reputations. We will also consider proposals with wider and more general scope, that provide an interesting and accessible reading of aspects of Australian writing.

Proposals for this series can be submitted via this website.
