      abstract = {This book examines literary representations of Sydney and  its waterway in the context of Australian modernism and  modernity in the interwar period. Then as now, Sydney  Harbour is both an ecological wonder and ladened with  economic, cultural, historical and aesthetic significance  for the city by its shores. In Australias earliest canon of  urban fiction, writers including Christina Stead, Dymphna  Cusack, Eleanor Dark, Kylie Tennant and M. Barnard  Eldershaw explore the myth and the reality of the city  built on water. Mapping Sydney via its watery and littoral  places, these writers trace impacts of empire, commercial  capitalism, global trade and technology on the city, while  drawing on estuarine logics of flow and blockage,  circulation and sedimentation to innovate modes of writing  temporally, geographically and aesthetically specific to  Sydneys provincial modernity. Contributing to the growing  field of oceanic or aqueous studies, Sydney, its Waterway  and Australian Modernism shows the capacity of water and  human-water relations to make both generative and  disruptive contributions to urban topography and narrative  topology.},
