The quarantined culture : Australian reactions to Modernism 1913-1939

by John F. Williams

This study examines how the First World War shifted Australian culture from pre-war cosmopolitanism towards an inward-looking society. It analyses the rejection of modernist art in favour of traditionalist mythologies, such as the Anzac legend, between the wars.
