Funded Activity Summary

Brought to book: Textual-editorial studies and the methodology of book history with a scholarly edition of Charles Harpur's complete poetry. Australia will possess reliable access for the first time to accurate versions of all of the verse of our most important colonial poet, Charles Harpur. Study of his manuscripts and publishing history will reveal the poet's place in society as a cross-section of Imperial-colonial relations. A Harpur website with collaborative interpretation will serve as a model for future projects. There will be benefits for students and the wider public through free electronic access to facsimiles and transcriptions of Harpur's manuscripts. Print-on-demand technology will ultimately allow coursebooks for student syllabuses to draw on the material.
