Book Description
The Oxford Book of Australian Women's Verse is the first anthology to offer a full record of Australian women's poetry from European settlement to the present. The anthology moves from Fidelia Hill's recollections of her arrival in Adelaide to the radical nationalist verse of the 1890s and, finally, to the abundant verse of the last three decades. It collects the diverse voices of 88 women, including some newly arrived from Europe and representatives of the oldest traditions of the land.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oxford Book of Australasian Verse As for Australasian readers who already know and value their own literature, I cannot h0pe that the book will please many of them. They will blame the editor both for his exclusions and for his inclusions. They are certain to miss many old favourites. Apart from the established fact that tastes differ, I have but one excuse to offer for my misdeeds: my omission of certain names - and those among the most widely popular in their own land - is due neither to negligence nor to a lack of appreciation on the editor's part, but simply and solely to the inexorable necessities of copyright.
