Book description
The Bibliography of Australian Literature records details of all separately published creative literature by Australian writers from European arrival in Australia to the end of the 20th century.
Three previous volumes have appeared: A-E in 2001, F-J in 2004, K-O in 2007.  Core genres covered in BAL are poetry, fiction, drama and children's writing.  BAL has no canon, aiming to include all works by Australian authors regardless of perceived or accepted literary merit - the self-published book of verse is as relevant as prize-winning novels of internationally renowned Australian writers.  Prolific writers of romance, science fiction and fantasy, crime novels and westerns - all generally categorised as pulp fiction - whose works are often excluded from mainstream bibliographies are included in The Bibliography of Australian Literature.
