人们普遍认为图书出版的全球化和整合对澳大利亚文学产生了负面影响。一些评论家认为，这种转变对整个澳大利亚文学不利。其他人认为跨国出版集团的增长与澳大利亚文学小说的具体下降有关。本文探讨了这两种立场，首先确定和调查澳大利亚小说出版的趋势，并将其与其他国家的小说以及其他澳大利亚本土文学（特别是诗歌和自传/传记）的出版趋势进行比较。然后，在详细研究澳大利亚小说大型出版商的产出之前，它会考虑澳大利亚文学小说的具体案例。这项分析揭示了澳大利亚小说和诗歌数量最近的下降，但与对澳大利亚文学和出版业命运的怀旧情绪和警报所暗示的主流表达相比，提供了这一趋势更为复杂的图景。
The globalisation and consolidation of book publishing is widely seen as having negative consequences for Australian literature. Some commentators argue that this shift is detrimental to Australian literature as a whole; others identify the growth of multinational publishing conglomerates with a specific decline in Australian literary fiction. This article explores both positions, first identifying and investigating trends in Australian novel publication and comparing these to trends in the publication of novels from other countries as well as other Australian-originated literature (specifically, poetry and auto/biography). It then considers the specific case of Australian literary fiction, before looking in detail at the output of large publishers of Australian novels. This analysis reveals a recent decline in Australian novel and poetry titles, but offers a more complex picture of this trend than dominant expressions of nostalgia and alarm about the fate of Australian literature and publishing would suggest.
