This fourth and final volume in the Dictionary of Literary Biography's series on the literary historiography of Australia covers writers who published their first major work after 1975 and before 2000. The authors are poets and dramatists for television and film, as well as writers of fiction and nonfiction. Each entry includes a list of publications by and about the author, a list of interviews, and a brief but detailed review of the author's life and work.
