The Colin Roderick Lectures: 1994, Australian Poetic Satire

Abstract

This monograph produced by Dennis Haskell in conjunction with the Colin Roderick Lecture series explores the place of satire in Australian culture and the notion that satire is trivialised in the Australian cultural consciousness. Using the perceived triviality of satire in Australia as a leaping off point, Haskell unravels the history of Australian satiric poetry.
