Literature has been a major means of constructing the nation in Australia, but also a vital instrument of cultural critique. This unit examines key elements of 'the Australian Legend'?mateship, egalitarianism, rebelliousness?as they are articulated and subverted in Aboriginal, Anglo-Celtic and migrant texts. Poetry, fiction, drama and film from My Brilliant Career to The True History of the Kelly Gang have created sites for the subversion of inherited forms and dominant ideologies.
