About This Item
NewSouth Publishing, 2022. Softcover. Near Fine. AUSTRALIANA Biography Agriculture Sheep Farming""Elizabeth and John Macarthur were the first married couple to travel voluntarily from Europe to Australia, arriving in 1790, both aged 23, within three years of the initial invasion. John Macarthur soon became famous in New South Wales and beyond as a wool pioneer, a politician, and a builder of farms at Parramatta and Camden. For a long time, Elizabeth's life was regarded as contingent on John's and, more recently, John's on Elizabeth's. In Elizabeth and John, Alan Atkinson, the prizewinning author of The Europeans in Australia, draws on his work on the Macarthur family over 50 years to explore the dynamics of their strong and sinewy marriage, and family life across two generations. With the truth of Elizabeth and John Macarthur's relationship much more complex and deeply human than other writers have suggested, Atkinson provides a finely drawn portrait of a powerful partnership.""First Edition. xi, 500 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : colour illustrations, colour portraits ; 24 cm. #070524 Includes bibliographical references (pages 430-485) and index.
