As a teacher and writer, and later as general editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography, Serle helped nurture a distinctive Australian voice. This book examines the play of forces that shaped Serle's Australian sensibility and presents a portrait of a man who found in regional history a key to national understanding. |
