Bol Examining the rise and significance of the personal essay in Australian life writing, Kyle Cardell frames the personal essay as a hybrid, politically charged genre that negotiates with aesthetics and ethics as a feature of self-representation in this form. She traces the essay’s historical trajectory and contemporary vitality in Australia through case studies ranging from Charmian Clift’s mid-century columns, to First Nations writers like Chelsea Watego and Mykaela Saunders, digital feminist essaying by Clementine Ford, eco-essays by Sophie Cunningham and #MeToo narratives, exploring themes of genre, agency and activism. Ultimately, this book argues that the personal essay functions as a dynamic site for creative, personal acts of cultural critique and narrative justice in the context of Australian life writing.
