AbstractHistoryArchive Description

McNeer examines some of the 'true lives' that have inspired Australian novels. Included in the list are William Bligh, bushrangers, pastoralists and entrepreneurs. McNeer concludes that 'Impatient for a sense of the past and tired of waiting for stories to arrive from the outside, Australian writers turned inward to historical characters and nonfiction techniques to invent their own.'
