Synopsis
Concentrating on immigration and settlement from England and on the declining influence of the English over two centuries, this book studies "the English" in Australia. As the largest group originally making up the Australian population, the English have been traditionally considered as the "norm" and thus rarely has the English influence been studied in detail. However, they might now very likely be seen as a "foreign" element.

Book Description
The English in Australia looks at the largest element making up the Australian population--the English. It concentrates on immigration and settlement from England and on the declining influence of the English over two centuries. As the largest such element the English have been taken as the 'norm' and thus rarely analysed in detail. It is argued that this has become anomalous and the English might now been seen as a 'foreign' element. Well illustrated with pictures and maps, there is no other book directly on this topic.

Medium Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Medium Trade Paperback. 216 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Cambridge University Press, UK, 2004. First Edition. *** CONDITION: This book is in near fine condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Australia has historically had very strong links with England, and the English have always accounted for a significant portion of the Australian population - yet, until now, this largest immigrant group has never been analysed in detail. James Jupp provides fascinating new insights into the impact the English have had on Australian life, in the first book ever written on the subject. Beginning with familiar stories of convicts, explorers, and early settlers, and then the various waves of immigration over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the book concludes with reflections on today's English immigrants, now considered 'foreigners'. Anyone interested in tracing their ancestry - both Australian and English - will find this book compelling reading, and helpful in bringing to life senses of the places, conditions, and occupations that their ancestry lived through. *** Quantity Available: 1.
