帝国网络使得澳大利亚的书籍和作家能够传播到英国和整个帝国，但跨大西洋的图书贸易也使澳大利亚的书籍能够传播到美国，并参与到被想象为共享的盎格鲁-撒克逊世界。本文探讨了19世纪末和20世纪初美国出版界的澳大利亚书籍和作家，特别是边疆浪漫小说和南海故事等跨国类型的作品。它审查了鼓励和限制文本跨越殖民地/国家边界的经济、法律和一般结构，以及贸易主要是商品贸易或交换故事、身份和思想的程度。
Imperial networks enabled the movement of Australian books and authors to Britain and across the Empire, but the transatlantic book trade also enabled Australian books to travel to the United States and to participate in what was imagined as a shared Anglo-Saxon world. This essay explores Australian books and authors in the American publishing world of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, especially works in the transnational genres of frontier romance and South Sea tales. It examines the economic, legal and generic structures that both encouraged and constrained the movement of texts across colonial/national borders and the degree to which the trade was primarily a trade in commodities or an exchange of stories, identities and ideas.
