Supplement volumes 7-9 (a-fou, fre-poem, and poet-z) contain discussions of 376 poems from the eighth to the late twentieth century. The volumes complement the original six-volume Masterplots II: Poetry Series (1992), continuing its pagination and volume- number sequence. They extend coverage to well-known poems that were not in the original series and to more 20th-century poems--allowing more discussions of work by African Americans, Hispanic, Asian American, and American Indian writers. Entries for each selected poem begin with a description of the poem, then discuss forms and devices and themes and meanings. Quick reference information at the head of each entry includes the author, type of poem, and date of first publication. The cumulative indexes in volume nine include an index by type of poem.

Booker Prize winner and Living National Treasure, Thomas Keneally still divides critical opinion: he is both a morally challenging stylist and a commercial hack, a wise commentator on society and a garrulous leprechaun. Such judgements are located in the cultural politics of Australia but also linked to ideas about what a literary career should look like. ‘Thomas Keneally’s Career and the Literary Machine’ charts Keneally’s production and reception across his three major markets, noting clashes between national interests and international reach, continuity of themes and variety of topics, settings and genres, the writer’s interests and the publishers’ push to create a brand, celebrity fame and literary reputation, and the tussle around fiction, history, allegory and the middlebrow. Keneally is seen as playing a long game across several events rather than honing one specialist skill, a strategy that has sustained for more than 50 years his ambition to earn a living from writing.
