| book description |

Writing the Australian BeachÂ is the first book in fifteen years to explore creative and cultural representations of this iconic landscape, and how writers and scholars have attempted to understand and depict it. 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.Â Forms of Beach WritingÂ examines the history of beach writing in Australia and in a number of forms: screenwriting, social media writing, and food writing. In turn,Â Multiplicities of Australian Beach WritingÂ examines how forms of writingâ€”poetry, travel writing, horror film, and memoirâ€”engage with some specific beaches in Australia. And, finally,Â Reading the BeachÂ 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.Â
