Two vintage issues of Meanjin, Australia’s long-running literary journal, from 1983 and 1986.

Featuring essays, criticism and fiction from a period when Australian literary identity was still actively being contested. Contributors include figures such as Gerald Murnane, John Tranter, James Walter and others engaged in shaping late-20th-century Australian letters.

These are artefacts of a pre-digital literary ecosystem, when journals were the battleground and they properly mattered. Ideal for readers interested in Australian literary history, small press culture, criticism, or the evolution of national writing debates.

Sold as a pair only.
