The Road to Botany Bay: An Exploration of Landscape and History
Anbieter: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardback. Zustand: Good. The Road to Botany Bay, first published in 1987 and considered a classic in the field of cultural and historical geography, examines the poetic constitution of colonial society. Through a far-reaching exploration of Australia's mapping, narrative description, early urbanism, and bush mythology, Paul Carter exposes the mythopoetic mechanisms of empire. A powerfully written account of the ways in which language, history, and geography influenced the territorial theater of nineteenth-century imperialism, the book is also a call to think, write, and live differently.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition, First Printing. A LANDMARK WORK THAT CHANGED HOW AUSTRALIA'S COLONIAL HISTORY IS INTERPRETED. Rather than recounting exploration as a sequence of events, Paul Carter examines how European explorers, surveyors, and settlers described, named, and ultimately imagined the Australian landscape. Drawing upon history, geography, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, he offers an influential reinterpretation of Australia's colonial beginnings through the language and perceptions of those who first mapped the continent. A New Way of Reading Exploration. Using journals, maps, and official records, Carter argues that exploration was as much an act of creating place through words as it was of geographic discovery. His interdisciplinary approach transformed the study of Australian colonial history and continues to influence scholarship in historical geography, post-colonial studies, and cultural history. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: First American Edition, First Printing. Octavo; 9.5 inches tall; 384 pages with notes, bibliography, and index. Publisher's cloth-backed boards in the original dust jacket. CONDITION: Near Fine in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Appears unread and unopened. No flaws beyond mild age-toning to the textblock edges and a remainder mark on the lower edge. Dust jacket protected in a new clear Mylar sleeve. KEY FEATURES +++ First American Edition, First Printing. +++ Influential interdisciplinary study of Australia's colonial exploration. +++ Draws upon exploration journals, maps, language, and historical documents. +++ Winner of the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Redefining Colonial Exploration - Upon publication, Road to Botany Bay challenged traditional narratives of European discovery by focusing on how explorers constructed meaning through naming, mapping, and description. Carter's concept of "spatial history" shifted attention from chronological events to the cultural creation of landscape, making the work a milestone in Australian historical scholarship. An Enduring Scholarly Classic. More than three decades after publication, the book remains widely cited in Australian history, historical geography, literary studies, and post-colonial scholarship. It is regarded as one of the most original interpretations of Australia's colonial experience produced during the late twentieth century. SUBJECTS: Australia, Botany Bay, Colonial Exploration, Historical Geography, Spatial History, European Settlement, Paul Carter, Australian History; Historical Geography; Cultural Studies. Near Fine Hardcover in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Artikel-Nr. 014855
