Funded Activity Summary

Reading Writing Lives: Publishing & Preserving Australian Literary Archives. In the last decades of the twentieth century, it became possible for Australian writers to have significant careers thanks to the establishment of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for the Arts. This project will bring to light the correspondence between Australian authors Shirley Hazzard and Elizabeth Harrower and between Hazzard and US scholar Donald Keene through these years. It will throw light on this historical period and how writers’ careers flourished, as it accesses this new information for the first time. It will produce two books of writers' correspondence, two exhibitions of writers' archives and libraries, and several scholarly and public-facing essays to make this new knowledge accessible to a broad audience.
