"John Hirst is one of Australia's most distinguished historians, but also one of the intellectual leaders of the 1990s movement for an Australian republic The Sentimental Nation is a decidedly revisionist work Nevertheless, in advancing so cogently an argument that has for so long gone largely by default, he does us a great favour. Hurst's argument is subtle, and he writes with lucidity and wit." -- John Ramsden, TLS, 10 May 2002
John Hirst has drawn on previously unexplored material to write a history of the long, sometimes difficult and ultimately "sentimental" process of Australian Federation, published on the eve of the Centenary of Federation.
