Funded Activity Summary

Patrick White in the twenty-first century. Patrick White (1912-1990) is the only Australian to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the citation commending him for having 'introduced a new continent into literature'. How did White represent Australia? Analysis of newly-available manuscripts and related material in the National Library will establish fresh perspectives on White's view of his native land, illuminating his writing in relation to national and international literary traditions. His social and political critique of twentieth-century Australia still confronts readers in the twenty-first century, stimulating debates over such topical issues as national identity, indigeneity, and understanding our national heritage.
