Summary This volume commences in 1788, the year of the arrival of the First Fleet, sent to colonize Australia and is the logical starting point since the focus is on Australian literature in English, and does include entries on Aboriginal writers who wrote and published in English. Entries include those writers who produced at least their first important work before the end of 1914.
