Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Inscribed by editors. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Geoffrey Bolton (1931-2015) was the most versatile and widely travelled of his generation of Australian historians.

As a scholar, teacher and commentator, he enriched the understanding of the country's regional mosaic, some of its notable figures, others who were just as revealing, the natural environment, social patterns and political life.

He was also unflagging in his encouragement of others. The contributors to this volume take his work as a departure point for original essays on a variety of themes in Australian history. Contributors include Stuart Macintyre, Jenny Gregory, Lenore Layman, Carol Bolton, Mark McKenna, Graeme Davison, Carl Bridge, Alan Atkinson and Andrew Gaynor.
