TL;DR: The authors apply statistical methods to probe the history of publishing Australian novels both locally and internationally by temporarily suspending their discipline's preoccupation with close readings and canonical judgements, and demonstrate how the computational analysis of large-scale publication data about Australian novels can also provoke alternative kinds of, and responses to, Australian literary history.

TL;DR: The Cambridge History of Australian Literature as mentioned in this paper is the most comprehensive volume ever written on Australia's national literature, covering Australian literary history from colonial origins, encompassing indigenous and migrant literatures, as well as representations of Asia and the Pacific and the role of literary culture in modern Australian society.
