1 Australian Political Biography and Biographers : Revisiting Australian Political Biography Kate White , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Journal of Biography and History , August no. 5 2021; (p. 1-21) 'This article is both a personal and academic reflection of my experiences as a student, teacher and practitioner of Australian political biography, and also of working with parliamentarians. It revisits my analysis of the genre published in Politics in 1981, but with a different focus. Whereas the earlier article identified various categories of political biography, here I will also be reflecting on my own experience of Australian political biography and of the academics and journalists who write them. As well, I will discuss how political biography has changed in the intervening 40 years and how my views of it have changed.' (Introduction)
