The Vision Splendid: A Social and Cultural History of Rural AustraliaCurtin University Books, 2005 - Broj stranica: 320 The Vision Splendid seeks to restore rural Australia to a central place in Australian history by showing how it has shaped Australian culture.

It maps, for the first time, the development of a set of cultural values and institutions in nineteenth-century rural Australia. |
