Settlers, war, and empire in the press : unsettling news in Australia and Britain, 1863-1902

Hutchinson, Sam, author

Overview

\"Explores how public commentary framed Australian involvement in the Waikato War (1863-64), the Sudan Crisis (1885), and the South African War (1899-1902), a succession of conflicts that reverberated around the British Empire and which the newspaper press reported at length. It reconstructs the ways these conflicts were understood and reflected in the colonial and British press, and how commentators responded to the shifting circumstances that shaped the mood of their coverage. Studying each conflict in turn, the book explores the expressions of feeling that arose within and between the Australian colonies and Britain. It argues that settler and imperial narratives required constant defending and maintaining\"-- Provided by publisher.
