The Intimate Archive is a co-authored book that recounts journeys through the private literary papers of three quite distinct Australian literary figures: Marjorie Barnard, Aileen Palmer and Lesbia Harford. Dever, Newman, and Vickery tease out some of the issues involved archival research when it comes to the more intimate aspects of women writers' lives: love, romance, sexuality. These three stories deal in different ways with questions of how to read what we call 'the intimate archive.’
Professor Deirdre Coleman, Robert Wallace Chair of English, University of Melbourne will be launching the book.
