内容説明

During the boom years of the 1880s Melbourne became the most populous, economically advanced and self-consciously "metropolitan" city in Australia. But the financial crash of the 1890s cost the city her pre-eminence. "The rise and fall of marvellous Melbourne" looks beyond public events to discover how the experience of boom and depression touched the lives of ordinary Melburnians, at work and at home, and reshaped their society and their sense of urban identity. Graeme Davison is Professor of History at Monash University. His most recent book is a history of time in Australia, "The Unforgiving Minute".
