Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's greatest story and they have gathered together some of our countrys finest historians to prosecute the case. Collectively, they compile a strong argument. In the late 19th century that acute American observer, Mark Twain, c…alled the Ballarat rebellion the finest thing in Australasian history and, like all such milestone moments in any countrys expanding tale, Eureka challenges because of the sheer number of interpretations that have been imposed upon it, both before Twain and after. During the sesquicentenary year of Eureka, 2004, one journalist rightly observed that Eureka is not so much history as many versions of history. The question of who owns the Eureka story is destined never to be answered, but one thing is certain: the superb Charter of Bakery Hill, an irresistible sequence of goldfield events leading to tragedy, a cast of characters drawn straight from a classic novel, violence and murder on an early Sabbath morning in December 1854, and a never-ending aftermath that arguably has had more energy within it in the 20th and 21st centuries than it had in the 19th these extraordinary elements of a grand narrative will forever stimulate the Australian imagination. Eureka: Australias Greatest Story is certain to stoke the fires. The editors of this book boldly proclaim that Eureka is Australia's 'greatest story', and they have gathered together some of our country's finest historians to prosecute the case.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Manning Clark Format: P…aperback Number of Pages: 216 Alexis de Tocqueville was a political theorist in the 19th century. He argued that an egalitarian society would lead to a concentration of power in the hands of the central government, thus sacrificing liberty for equality. Tocqueville's ideas about democracy interested Manning Clark deeply. Clark undertook intensive research on Tocqueville at Oxford during the war, and completed his MA thesis in 1949 at the University of Melbourne. It is published here for the first time. The book seeks to shed light on: Tocqueville and his ideas, placed in their historical context; Tocqueville's ideas and their relevance in an Australian social/political context; the youthful Clark's Tocqueville thesis and its place in his collected writings; the purported Marxist framework of the thesis as the first of many controversies colouring Clark's writing life; the significance of later controversies about Clark and their links to ideas in the thesis.

Manning Clark's The Ideal of Alexis de Tocqueville is a reflective study of Tocqueville's political thought, written in the aftermath of the Second World War and long before Clark became one of Australia's best‑known historians. Clark examines Tocqueville's central concern:… how modern democracies can preserve liberty when the drive for equality risks empowering centralised authority.
