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, called 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ten Federal Elections That Shaped Australia is an exciting non-fiction work that explores key political contests in Australian history. Far from a Tweedledum and Tweedledee scenario where voting makes little difference, democratic elections have shaped Australia in a number of ways. This work highlights ten crucial moments where the election outcome significantly formed Australia: culturally, politically or economically. It looks at prime ministers and policies that never were and examines how the democratic process could have produced a different country. Noted political experts will produce ten chapters with a common theme and key questions. Two additional chapters explore the impact of Australias diverse voting systems and the influence of social media on elections. The result will be an engaging look at Australias political system, written by talented academics but catering to a broad audience interested in politics and history.

PAPERBACK, very good. INSCRIBED to recipient with first name only and a nice inscription, SIGNED John Uhr. UHR, JOHN / CROWE, SHAUN. Novel politics: studies in Australian political fiction. Carlton, Victoria: Melbourne University Press, 2020, xiv, 170pp., . Chapters on Catherine Spence, Rosa Praed, Catherine Martin, Tim Winton, Christos Tsiolkas, Kim Scott. - "Percy Bysshe Shelley once described poets as the 'unacknowledged legislators of the world'. If this is true, Australian political scientists have shown curiously little interest in the role that literary figures play in the nation's political life. Novel Politics takes the relationship between literature and politics seriously, analysing the work of six writers, each the author of a classic text about Australian society. These authors bridge the history of local writing, from pre-Federation colonial Australia (Catherine Spence, Rosa Praed and Catherine Martin) to the contemporary moment (Tim Winton, Christos Tsiolkas and Kim Scott). Novel Politics unpicks the many political threads woven into these books, as they document the social world as it exists, while suggesting new possibilities for the nation's future. As political commentators of a particular kind, all six authors offer unique insights into the deeper roots of politics in Australia, beyond the theatre of parliament and out into the wider social world, as imagined by its dreamers and criticised by its most incisive discontents.".
