Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear.
The City Bushman maps Lawson's celebrity and the variety of uses to which his name and reputation have been put - the multi-faceted Lawson legend has been used by conservative, nationalist, socialist and radical interests to further their own agendas.
This appropriation began with Lawson's State funeral, which was surrounded by a political ruckus, including Billy Hughes' attempt to develop the strategy of his affinity with the 'ordinary' Australian. (publisher blurb)
