Abstract

"This is the first full-length study of the trench journalism of the allied nations in World War I. It is the result of a survey of as many English-language trench newspapers and magazines as can be located in British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and American archives... Although focusing on a short time, a few places and an almost totally unprecedented set of circumstances, this study is not primarily historical in orientation. It is a cultural inquiry that also embraces the social, insofar as it applied to the experience of the trenches-- and beyond-- between 1914 and 1918"--Pref.

Abstract

For centuries before the arrival in Australia of Captain Cook and the so-called First Fleet in 1788, intrepid seafaring explorers had been searching, with varied results, for the fabled "Great Southland." In this enthralling history of early discovery, Graham Seal offers breathtaking tales of shipwrecks, perilous landings, and Aboriginal encounters with the more than three hundred Europeans who washed up on these distant shores long before the land was claimed by Cook for England. The author relates dramatic, previously untold legends of survival gleaned from the centuries of Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Indonesian voyages to Australia, and debunks commonly held misconceptions about the earliest European settlements: ships of the Dutch East Indies Company were already active in the region by the early seventeenth century, and the Dutch, rather than the English, were probably the first European settlers on the continent.
