Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Interior and binding are also very good.

In this classic piece of Australian literary heritage, Russell Ward looks at the ideals, traits and behaviours Australians consider typical of themselves.

His now famous, penetrating analysis of 19th-century Australian history shows how the characteristically Australian traits first found expression in the frontier life of the nomad pastoral workers of the outback, eventually pervading Australian literature and life.

For his account, Ward has drawn on English and American literature, documents and statistics, journals and papers, and perhaps most vividly, Australian folk songs and ballads. (publisher blurb)

First published in 1958.
