AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Since his retirement from the University of Sydney, Adrian Mitchell has remained busy writing biographies of a wide range of people. Some of them have been well known, like the early explorer William Dampier, others little known, such as the late nineteenth-century landscape painter George Collingridge de Tourcey. The subject of his latest work, nineteenth-century Australian poet Henry Kendall, falls somewhere in the middle. For many years his poems, especially ‘Bell Birds’, were widely known and recited by generations of schoolchildren. Now he and his work are largely forgotten.' (Introduction)

    'This special issue of Australian Journal of Biography and History, ‘Writing Slavery into Biography: Australian Legacies of British Slavery’, uses biographical approaches to explore how British slavery shaped the Australian colonies. It is the first stand-alone journal issue to feature an emerging body of historical work tracing the movement of people, investment and ideas from the Caribbean to Australia. Seven refereed articles and a roundtable discussion show how investment, imperial aspiration and migration turned towards Britain's ‘Second Empire’ in the aftermath of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.'
