More English Than the English: A Very social History of Victoria - Reksten, Terry

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Terry Reksten, Victoria's favourite historian, chronicles the feats and foibles of the men and women, many of them British immigrants, who created a special kind of society and a new city beside the Pacific. With insight and humour, Reksten, who died in 2001, opens a window on the way things used to be in a place at the far end of the Empire. This completely redesigned edition brings this fascinating social history of Victoria's early days back into print. As in the original edition, this book includes maps and a comprehensive list of sites for readers trolling the streets and pathways of the city, searching for evidence of the past - both at surviving physical locations and in the stories that unfolded there.
