Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. This is a secondhand book in good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. In 1962, the first volume of Manning Clark's "A History of Australia" appeared. For the next two-and-a-half decades Clark unfolded his tragic celebration of white Australian history. Today, the six-volume history is one of the masterpieces of Australian literature. It is also one of the most passionately debated visions of Australian history. Clark's Australians are men and women of lively goodwill and deep sinfulness, of generous idealism and unthinking brutality. He dramatizes the motivating forces of Australian life - cowardice and vision, cruelty and defiance, greatness of spirit and the spiritual vacuity of the suburbs - all of them locked in the unceasing struggle which builds a nation. Michael Cathcart has re-orchestrated Clark's epic narrative in this single volume. Every page of this abridgement rings with Manning Clark's voice. Here, at last, the general reader can encounter the deep resonances, pessimism and passion of Manning Clark - Australian historian and prophet. Michael Cathcart is co-author of "Mission to the South Seas: the Voyage of the Duff" and author of "Defending the National Tuckshop", a study of conservative responses to the Great Depression.…

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Cathcart Michael Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 528 Manning Clark's six-volume work, A History of Australia, is an Australian masterpiece. Published between 1962 and 1987, the work was some three decades in the making. It is the testament of Clark's commitment to Australian scholarship and to telling our story. A History of Australia is one of the most passionately debated visions of our history, in which the struggle to realise an Australian nation is played out on an epic scale. Clark sees the process of change as driven by unceasing conflict between generosity of vision and inevitable human frailty. His Australians are people of great goodwill and deep sinfulness, of expansive ideas and small-mindedness, of patriotic independence and a fearful allegiance to Empire. Michael Cathcart's succinct and imaginative Abridgement ranges from 1788 to the threshold of World War II. His skilful re-orchestration of this monumental work is unerringly faithful to Clark's sympathies, language and understandings. Secondhand, Hardback. …
