Secondhand, Paperback. [Author], [Publisher]. NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. Author: Robin Gerster Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 1 This important anthology reveals the many ways in which going to war has formed a…cultural bridge between Australia and the world. From the Sudan in 1885 to Afghanistan in 2001, the connection of war to travel is illustrated in the observations of writers as varied as 'Banjo' Paterson, George Johnston, Nancy Wake, John Pilger, Lily Brett and Peter Weir. Selecting writings from combatants abroad as well as the reflections of sightseers who travel to foreign battlefields and war sites, Robin Gerster and Peter Pierce reveal how the experience of war has both broadened and refined (and sometimes distorted) Australian views of the world. Their lively collection crosses the boundaries between literature, literary criticism, travel writing, war writing and cultural commentary. Secondhand, Paperback.

Paperback. Robin Gerster, Melbourne University Press. "An engagingly readable, entertaining yet scholarly survey of the Australian war mythology. An adventurous, but meticulous study .this is a book that bayonets a too-long-held myth." - "Judges' Report, 1988 Age "Book of the Year"" ".the most incisive, comprehensive and controv…ersial account so far to appear of Australian literature of war .carries out a neglected task of literary and cultural history." - Peter Pierce "Age" ".a brave argument and a brave book .a beautifully written book .you'll never feel quite the same about Anzac or Gallipoli again." - Judith Smart "Victorian Historical Journal" "Gerster's central heresy .deserves to be taken very seriously indeed. The book should be bought at the shop rather than burned at the stake." - Mark Thomas "Canberra Times" "Dr Robin Gerster lectures in English at Monash University. He is the co-author of "Seizures of youth: the sixties and Australia" (Hyland House), and has been published widely in Australian journals and newspapers.". Paperback.
