MUP Presents New Series on Colonial Australian Culture

Melbourne University Press (MUP) will release two books each year in a Colonial Australian Culture series. The series will be a library of innovative, accessible, scholarly work on colonialism in Australia.

Each title will offer an account of a particular cultural field: from fashion, art, architecture, gardening and literature to Indigenous resistance and colonial frontiers.

Colonial Australian Culture titles will be short monographs of approximately 45,000 words.

This new library will provide a vital window into the ‘other country’ of Australia’s all-too-proximate past.

General editors:

Ken Gelder and Rachael Weaver, University of Melbourne

Editorial board:

Amanda Nettelbeck, Australian Catholic University

Jane Lydon, University of Western Australia

Rachel Standfield, University of Melbourne

Penny Edmonds, Flinders University

Authors should submit a short outline of their project, no more than two (single-spaced) pages, to either editor Ken Gelder (kdgelder@unimelb.edu.au) or Rachael Weaver (weaverra@unimelb.edu.au).
