The Australian Canon refers to those texts by Australian authors that espouse the values of canonicity. These values are dynamic and contentious but may generally be said to include: timelessness, universal concerns, a unique Australian identity, an authentic representation of what it means to be 'Australian'. Contentious concerns include the emergence of a distinctive Australian literature and arguments about contending literary canons, including the relation between ‘generational canons’, ‘middlebrow’ and ‘academic’ canons, the ‘syllabus’ and the ‘canonical imaginary’.
