Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's greatest story and they have gathered together some of our countrys finest historians to prosecute the case. Collectively, they compile a strong argument. In the late 19th century that acute American observer, Mark Twain, ca…lled the Ballarat rebellion the finest thing in Australasian history and, like all such milestone moments in any countrys expanding tale, Eureka challenges because of the sheer number of interpretations that have been imposed upon it, both before Twain and after. During the sesquicentenary year of Eureka, 2004, one journalist rightly observed that Eureka is not so much history as many versions of history. The question of who owns the Eureka story is destined never to be answered, but one thing is certain: the superb Charter of Bakery Hill, an irresistible sequence of goldfield events leading to tragedy, a cast of characters drawn straight from a classic novel, violence and murder on an early Sabbath morning in December 1854, and a never-ending aftermath that arguably has had more energy within it in the 20th and 21st centuries than it had in the 19th these extraordinary elements of a grand narrative will forever stimulate the Australian imagination. Eureka: Australias Greatest Story is certain to stoke the fires. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's 'greatest story', and they have gathered together some of our country's finest historians to prosecute the case.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. This copy feels unread. Manning Clark's The Ideal of Alexis de Tocqueville is a reflective study of Tocqueville's political thought, written in the aftermath of the Second World War and long before Clark became one of Australia's best‑known historians.

Paperback small octavo (with flaps), very good condition. 185 pp. The Masters thesis of the noted Australian historian, published posthumously. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 - 1859) was one of the greatest political theorists of the 19th century. Reads more like a discussion in political philosophy than a history thesis. His under…lying concern was how to ensure that civil liberties and democratic institutions are not used by those opposed to them as stepping-stones to dictatorship.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's greatest story and they have gathered together some of our countrys finest historians to prosecute the case. Collectively, they compile a strong argument. In the late 19th century that acute American observer, Mark Twain, ca…lled the Ballarat rebellion the finest thing in Australasian history and, like all such milestone moments in any countrys expanding tale, Eureka challenges because of the sheer number of interpretations that have been imposed upon it, both before Twain and after. During the sesquicentenary year of Eureka, 2004, one journalist rightly observed that Eureka is not so much history as many versions of history. The question of who owns the Eureka story is destined never to be answered, but one thing is certain: the superb Charter of Bakery Hill, an irresistible sequence of goldfield events leading to tragedy, a cast of characters drawn straight from a classic novel, violence and murder on an early Sabbath morning in December 1854, and a never-ending aftermath that arguably has had more energy within it in the 20th and 21st centuries than it had in the 19th these extraordinary elements of a grand narrative will forever stimulate the Australian imagination. Eureka: Australias Greatest Story is certain to stoke the fires. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's 'greatest story', and they have gathered together some of our country's finest historians to prosecute the case.
