Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First US Edition. Type: Hardback First US Edition. Hardcover Book and Jacket in FINE Condition. Archival protective jacket cover. A re-evaluation of the origins of Australia, taking insights from many disciplines --philosophy, city planning, sociology, linguistics, psychoanalysis, and art history, bringing them to bear on the subject of travel, exploration, and the settlement, of Australia. Australian history is a history of traveling--European newcomers were forever on the move. Carter has drawn on reports and diaries of these first colonists and explorers for the drama they record--escaping convicts, pioneers, wandering aborigines with their own authentic histories. It is an account of a nation founding itself, an adventurous discipline of spatial history, of the nature of emptiness, place-names, convict behavior-a remapping of the European settlement of Australia. 384 pages with Chapter Notes and index . 8.75 x 6 inches. 1988, Random House, New York, New York, USA.

(ix), Acknowledgments (xi), Introduction: A Cake of Portable Soap (xiii), Text (1), Notes (353), Index (377) *This trail-blazing re-evaluation of the origins of Australia is a work of powerful imagination. Oxford-educated Paul Carter takes insights from many disciplines (philosophy, city planning, sociology, linguistics, psychoanalysis & art history) & brings them to bear in a deeply original way on the subjects of travel, exploration & settlement. Australian history is a history of traveling, Carter makes clear, &, as in America, the European newcomers were forever on the move. As they traveled, they wrote about what they saw, for before they cold truly call the land their own, they had to symbolize & name it, give it recognizable features & frame its horizons, make it habitable by equipping it w/ a history. Drawing on reports & diaries, Cater shows how the first explorers & colonists gave Australia "a local habitation& a name." He reads their narratives & maps, not for the usual historical or geographical data, but for the drama they record: writing & traveling are analogous activities, he suggests; escaping convicts, pioneers, & wandering aborigines emerge as creatures of their own authentic histories, translating strange, unknown spaces into a network of familiar landscapes they call home. * "Dazzlingly original, one of the great books about traveling & a landmark in the true discovery of Australia. It deals w/ what belongs deeply to 'culture': the means by which we open new spaces & make of them areas of knowledge where language & event can find room. The writing has a lyrical passion in argument that I found irresistible. I couldn't put it down." - David Malouf * SHIPPING: We custom wrap & label & securely package this superb book for shipment via USPS Media Mail at no charge (or via USPS Priority Mail for a nominal $10.00 charge) within the United States or at our posted rates to international destinations via USPS First Class Airmail (recommended) or USPS Priority Airmail.
