Download or read book John Oxley written by Rob Tickle and published by ETT Imprint. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This immaculately and painstakingly researched book, through its biographies of Oxley, Evans, Fraser and Harris explains the impulses that drove these men to explore and map the colony, to collect, identify and categorise its flora. But it succeeds in doing more than that because it also elucidates the motivations that drove them to become colonial entrepreneurs, farmers and businessmen, who in the pursuit of individual wealth advanced colonial prosperity. This important book makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Australia's European origins. - Emeritus Professor Richard Waterhouse

Download or read book Critic Swallows Book written by Catriona Menzies-Pike and published by Giramondo Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2023 the Sydney Review of Books celebrates a decade online and the publication of more than a thousand essays and longform reviews of Australian and international literature. Over these ten years the SRB has cleared a unique space for serious reflection on literature and for critical thinking about our culture more broadly. The journal has been shaped by the diverse aesthetic, political and critical dispositions of our contributors, each of whom has different questions to ask contemporary literature. As they’ve asked these questions, they’ve guided a bold and independent public conversation about literature, and especially about the many forms of Australian literature. Critic Swallows Book brings together twenty-two essays that together demonstrate the eclecticism of the Sydney Review of Books. It includes essays on decolonising Australian literature and revisiting the classics, on blockbuster fiction and book-length poetry, on modernism in the Antipodes and reading during the pandemic. Essays on Susan Sontag and Rita Felski sit alongside critical considerations of Murray Bail and Joan London, of Evelyn Araluen and Samia Khatun. Contributors: Timmah Ball, Paola Balla, Alix Beeston, Tegan Bennett Daylight, Andrew Brooks, Bonny Cassidy, Mridula Nath Chakraborty, Tom Clark, Ali Cobby Eckermann, Ben Etherington, Ross Gibson, Ivor Indyk, Yumna Kassab, Louis Klee, Jeanine Leane, James Ley, Catriona Menzies-Pike, Drusilla Modjeska, Alys Moody, Suneeta Peres da Costa, Oliver Reeson. Open Secrets is edited by Catriona Menzies-Pike, former editor of the Sydney Review of Book.

Download or read book Colonial Conflicts 1792 1810 written by Cyril Forsyth and published by DoArt. This book was released on 2005 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 28th June 1790 a Lieutenant Macarthur arrived in the HM “Scarborough” as a member of the New South Wales Corps, a unit specially recruited, to replace the Marines, which had arrived with the first fleet. It was the 13th February 1792, almost two years later, before Richard Atkins arrived on the transport ‘Pitt’. Both men were destined to play leading roles in early colonial history and from the beginning there was obvious hostility between the two, culminating in the 1808 rebellion with the associated deposing of the Governor. Compiled after several years’ research, covers the period from 1788 up to and including Col.Johnston’s Court Martial and attempts to draw the reader’s attention, to the various misinterpretations by early historians and writers concerning both Richard Atkins and John Macarthur and their roles in the founding of this country. In particular, it refutes long-held beliefs concerning both men. Research for this book has revealed that many of the writings of the past are inaccurate thus giving a misleading view of the events of the period. Most early writers have neglected to portray negative material readily available in the Historical Records of NSW concerning Macarthur; indeed the editor of the HRNSW has shown a definite bias in his interpretation which favors Macarthur but ignores much of what he himself collated. Colonial Conflicts endeavors to relate a more accurate picture of the events of those times while relying heavily on quotations from the period.
