Book Synopsis A Source Book of Australian History by : Gwendolen H. Swinburne
Download or read book A Source Book of Australian History written by Gwendolen H. Swinburne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Source Book of Australian History I Submit this volume to the public in the hope that it may increase the amount of interest usually shown in Australian History by deepening the general knowledge of the subject, and illustrating it by those vivid details which arrest the attention and enable the student to visualize past events. The number of events described in a Source Book must necessarily be smaller than that in histories of another type; but the aim is to place the student in contact with the evidence of history in order that he may become his own historian by drawing his own deductions from the contemporary records. The greatest historian can find no materials ulterior to such as are here presented, for there is nothing ulterior to them but the deeds themselves. They are the records written by the men who gave their life and health to lay the foundation of Australia's greatness - by Phillip, weakening under the racking cares of the infant state; by Sturt in the scorching desert, as the last duty of an exhausting day. They are aglow with the heat of action; they are inspiring in their quiet modesty and strength. In order to give greater continuity to the volume, short introductions have been placed at the head of each selection. It has been impossible to quote in full all the documents of which use has been made, but fuller information may be obtained by reference to the "source" mentioned at the head of each selection. The editor or author of the source and its date of publication are shown in order to facilitate further research.

Book Synopsis Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s by : David Carter
Download or read book Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s written by David Carter and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s explores how Australian writers and their works were present in the United States before the mid twentieth century to a much greater degree than previously acknowledged. Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature’s connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures. Carter and Osborne examine how Australian authors, editors and publishers engaged productively with their American counterparts, and how American readers and reviewers responded to Australian works. They consider the role played by British publishers and agents in taking Australian writing to America, and how the international circulation of new literary genres created new opportunities for novelists to move between markets. Some of these writers, such as Christina Stead and Patrick White, remain household names; others who once enjoyed international fame, such as Dale Collins and Alice Grant Rosman, have been largely forgotten. The story of their books in America reveals how culture, commerce and copyright law interacted to create both opportunities and obstacles for Australian writers.

Book Synopsis On Our Selection by : Bernard Whimpress
Download or read book On Our Selection written by Bernard Whimpress and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On our selection is an alternative history of Australian cricket. It asks what-if questions and reimagines our national game. White it would be nice to think that Australia's test selectors always picked the best players they have not been infallible. Using 66 case studies from 1877 to the present, noted sports historian Bernard Whimpress reflects on choices made and not made: well-credentialled players overlooked when fit and ready for action, or their careers ended before their time; players wrongly chosen in the first instance and perserved with when their performances do not demand their retention; times when opportunities are missed, when selectorial falir is called for, when stodgy thinking limits possibilities. ... The search for team balance is often elusive and while the subject of this book is restricted to test cricket it is recognised that the competing forms of limited-over and Twenty20 cricket make the selection task more difficult in the modern era."--Back cover.
