Description and Table of Contents
Description
A collection of fifteen essays by well-known academics which together present a comprehensive discussion of the main aspects of Australian intellectual life and social inquiry in the 20th century. By focusing on the period since 1920, the book avoids any direct engagement with the debate over the significance of the 1890s. The chapters fall into four main categories. There are overviews of intellectual life in Australia, looking at processes of professionalization, institutional networks, career patterns, overseas influences, and the relations between intellectuals and society at large. Some chapters are reminiscences of intellectual life for different generations of Australian scholarship; others deal with a particular group, school or ideology, and others discuss a disciplinary area.
