Download or read book Commonwealth Public Address written by Marian B. McLeod and published by Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recent years oratory was considered a fundamental component of the literature of a nation, and a liberal education implied a knowledge of the great speakers and their principal speeches no less than of the important poems, plays and prose works. For some time, however, the study of literature has been reduced in many places to just two genres: poetry and prose fiction; but of late literary studies have expanded considerably, to include speeches, children's and juvenile literature, historiography, diaries and journals, memoirs, letters, science and fantasy fiction -- even graffiti and inscriptions. Increasingly, papers on Commonwealth speakers are heard at national and international conferences and found in scholarly journals, and the speeches of famous persons are studied with the same intensity as their imaginative works. As a result, rhetorical theories and communication studies have developed rapidly in order to better evaluate speeches, or public address. The papers included in this collection suggest the range of studies of Commonwealth public address: historical, comparative, analytical and survey. They examine the effectiveness of some of the major figures in world affairs: G K Goldhale and B G Tilak (India); Jessie Street and R G Menzies (Australia); Maurice Bishop (Grenada) and Cheddi Jagan and Forbes Burnham (Guyana). In addition, dig consider African and Canadian oratory and the relationship of speeches to history and politics, concluding with a proposed canon of Commonwealth public address.
Download or read book Wesleyan Holiness Churches in Australia written by Glen O'Brien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Wesleyan-Holiness churches started in the US, developing out of the Methodist roots of the nineteenth-century Holiness Movement. The American origins of the Holiness movement have been charted in some depth, but there is currently little detail on how it developed outside of the US. This book seeks to redress this imbalance by giving a history of North American Wesleyan-Holiness churches in Australia, from their establishment in the years following the Second World War, as well as of The Salvation Army, which has nineteenth-century British origins. It traces the way some of these churches moved from marginalised sects to established denominations, while others remained small and isolated. Looking at The Church of God (Anderson), The Church of God (Cleveland), The Church of the Nazarene, The Salvation Army, and The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Australia, the book argues two main points. Firstly, it shows that rather than being American imperialism at work, these religious expressions were a creative partnership between like-minded evangelical Christians from two modern nations sharing a general cultural similarity and set of religious convictions. Secondly, it demonstrates that it was those churches that showed the most willingness to be theologically flexible, even dialling down some of their Wesleyan distinctiveness, that had the most success. This is the first book to chart the fascinating development of Holiness churches in Australia. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Wesleyans and Methodists, as well as religious history and the sociology of religion more generally.
Download or read book Great Australian Speeches written by Pamela Robson and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 1940-01-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Australian Speeches brings together a diverse and often moving collection of more than 40 speeches ranging from colonial times to the present day. Some have resonated with power enough to shape the nation; others encapsulate the best … and worst … of the Australian character. This selection proves that stirring oratory is not simply the preserve of politicians and military figures. Bushranger Ned Kelly makes a speech within a speech as his death sentence is passed, interrupting the address of Judge Barry with words of defiance. Also featured are singer Nellie Melba's farewell speech (the irony of which neither speaker nor listeners appreciated at the time); Miles Franklin's tribute to Henry Lawson 'who gave us this kingdom as our own'; and Richie Benaud's moving eulogy to cricketing legend Donald Bradman. Iconic political speeches include Governor Phillip's message to the First Fleet on landing at Sydney Cove; the opening address of the Federal parliament by MP William Groom, ex-convict; Robert Menzies' 'Forgotten People' speech of 1942; Mick Dodson's 'Stolen Generation' protest of 1997; the 'dismissal' declarations of Gough Whitlam and Governor General John Kerr; and Kevin Rudd's statesmanlike 'Sorry …' speech of 2008.
