Although the content chiefly focuses on Australia, the beach as both a location and idea resonates deeply with readers around the world. This edited collection includes three sections. \u003ci\u003eForms of Beach Writing \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the history of beach writing in Australia and in a number of forms: screenwriting, social media writing, and food writing. In turn, \u003ci\u003eMultiplicities of Australian Beach Writing\u003c\/i\u003e examines how forms of writing—poetry, travel writing, horror film, and memoir—engage with some specific beaches in Australia. And, finally, \u003ci\u003eReading the Beach\u003c\/i\u003e as a Text considers how the beach itself functions in cultural narratives: how we walk the beach; the revealing story of beach soccer; and the design and use of ocean baths. Given its scope, the collection offers a unique resource for scholars of Australian culture and creative writing, and for all those interested in Australian beaches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-03-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030352639\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-35264-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 243\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45441265729676,"sku":"9783030352639","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030352639.jpg?v=1776789274","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030352639","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
