Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
In Life in the Country– the second volume of the highly-acclaimed trilogy ‘Australia in the Victorian Age’, Michael Cannon explodes the myth of a ‘Golden Age’ of rural life in Australia. This volume deals in detail with the nature of that rural dream, which, in its day, evoked all that was best and worst in the emerging Australian character. Not often in the history of the world will you find exhibited higher courage, baser selfishness, greater tenacity, grosser cruelty, or more astonishing endurance against the repeated blows of fate than in the story of the people who threw themselves against an obstinate environment and, on occasion, forced it to fulfil their dream.
