Gallipoli to Petrov: Arguing with Australian History by Humphrey McQueen

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Marks on foredges. Interior and binding are still very good.

To read history, to write it, let alone remake it, is to become involved in arguments with the past as well as with other historians. Many such disputes cross this selection with Humphrey McQueen's writing. Witty, provocative and passionate, the work presented here will delight and offend by prompting us to think again about Australia's poets and patrons, housewives and judges, Aborigines and entrepreneurs.
