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)

Includes bibliographical references and index.
