Emperors in Lilliput: Clem Christesen of Meanjin and Stephen Murray-Smith of Overland: By Jim Davidson. Melbourne: The Miegunyah Press, Melbourne University Publishing, 2022. Pp. 480. A$59.99 cloth.

The sometimes subtle and implicit connections between the stories of Christesen, Murray-Smith, and Davidson form one of the great strengths of this book. Through close personal connections to these processes and supported by a wealth of archival evidence, Jim Davidson's I Emperors in Lilliput i brings these two magazines and their founding editors to life in vivid detail. Davidson accomplishes this with alternating chapters devoted to each editor and the development of their magazines, and two chapters that combine analysis of the two during the 1960s and 1970s.
