MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Black and White plates. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. xvi, 235 pages. Nineteenth century Australian settlers, in an architectural, cultural and intellectual claiming of their new land, filled their landscape with durable monuments allusions to a remembered, imagined, idealised, far-distant homeland. This book chronicles how colonists adjusted to surroundings that were without everyday signifiers of European civilisation; where it was self-assuring to create one's own references to an ancient cultural inheritance, and also to claim to be of the land by constructing a locality with its own symbolic references to a past that was meaningful for them.
