About This Item
NewSouth Publishing, Sydney, NSW, 2022. Softcover. Very Good Condition. A landmark and revealing joint biography of Elizabeth and John Macarthur, from one of Australias most respected historians.Arriving in 1790, Elizabeth and John Macarthur, both aged 23, were the first married couple to travel voluntarily from Europe to Australia, 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, Elizabeths life was regarded as contingent on Johns and, more recently, Johns on Elizabeths.In Elizabeth and John, Alan Atkinson, prizewinning author of Europeans in Australia, draws on his work on the Macarthur family over the last 50 years to explore the dynamics of a strong and sinewy marriage, and family life over two generations. With the truth of John and Elizabeth Macarthurs relationship much more complicated and more deeply human than other writers have suggested, Atkinson provides a finely drawn portrait of a powerful partnership.Elizabeth and John is a truly amazing work of history. A triumph. This is historical scholarship at its dazzling best. Beautifully produced and written, Alan Atkinsons intimate portrait of Elizabeth and John Macarthurs marriage also opens windows on to the wider worlds of 18th century England, the European Enlightenment and early New South Wales during the years of the British invasion and occupation. 500 pages.
