It contributes to evolving international definitions of the form, while providing a glimpse into Australia's early press history and development as a nation. The book comprises two parts. The first examines the forerunners of literary journalism before and during the establishment of a free press, including the letters, diaries and journals of the early colonists, as well as sketches published in the first magazines and newspapers. The book asks if these were "reporting" when there was no thriving press until well into the 19th century -- many were written by women and convicts whose voices otherwise went unheard. The second part examines the first expressions of literary journalism in forms more recognisable today, covering topics as varied as homelessness in Melbourne, the Queensland trade in Pacific Islander labour, and Australia's involvement in overseas wars, particularly the Boer War. The resulting cultural history reveals important milestones in the development of Australia's press and literature, while demonstrating the concerns unveiled in colonial literary journalism still resonate in Australia in the 21st century. Willa McDonald teaches and researches literary journalism and creative non-fiction writing at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. A former journalist, she is co-editor of Palgrave Macmillan's Literary Journalism series. 001480743 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 8, 2023). 001480743 650_6 $$aJournalisme$$zAustralie$$xHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001480743 650_6 $$aPresse et littérature. 001480743 650_0 $$aJournalism$$zAustralia$$xHistory$$y19th century.$$0(DLC)sh 85001889 001480743 650_0 $$aJournalism and literature.$$0(DLC)sh 85070785 001480743 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001480743 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031317882$$z9783031317880$$w(OCoLC)1374108577 001480743 830_0 $$aPalgrave Studies in Literary Journalism,$$x2731-9547 001480743 852__ $$bebk 001480743 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-31789-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001480743 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1480743$$pGLOBAL_SET 001480743 980__ $$aBIB 001480743 980__ $$aEBOOK 001480743 982__ $$aEbook 001480743 983__ $$aOnline 001480743 994__ $$a92$$bISE
