The Academy Editions of Australian Literature
The ten volumes of the Academy Editions of Australian Literature were published between 1996 and 2007, sponsored by the Australian Academy of the Humanities. Paul Eggert was the general editor. His fellow members of the Editorial Board were Virginia Blain, Harold Love, Chris Tiffin and Elizabeth Webby. They and the members of the Advisory Board were drawn from universities around the country.
These scholarly editions are reference books of c. 800 pages, with comprehensive historical and textual introduction, extensively cross-referenced and with full annotation and apparatus. They were handsomely produced by UQP on archival-quality paper to a page design prepared by the late Alec Bolton of Brindabella Press, famous for its fine hand-printing.
