Sinopsis

Since its publication in 1903, Joseph FurphyâÇÖsáSuch is Lifeáhas become established as an Australian classic. But which version of the novel is the authoritative text, and what does its history reveal about Australian cultural life?From FurphyâÇÖs handwritten manuscript through numerous editions, a controversial abridgement for the British market (condemned by A.D. Hope as a 'mutilation'), and periods of obscurity and rediscovery, the text has been reshaped and repackaged by many hands. FurphyâÇÖs first editors at theáBulletinádiluted his socialist message and 'corrected' his Australian slang to create a more marketable book. Later, literary players including Vance and Nettie Palmer, Miles Franklin, Kate Baker and Angus & Robertson all took an interest in how FurphyâÇÖs work should be published.In a fascinating piece of literary detective work, Osborne traces the bookâÇÖs journey and shows how economic and cultural forces helped to shape the novel we read today.
