The Beginning, the first of three volumes in the awardwinningseries
The Europeans in Australia, available together for the first time,
gives an account of earlysettlement by Britain that began during
the 1780s, a decade of extraordinary creativity and the climax of
the European Enlightenment. In this period, the penal colony at
Port Jackson wasestablished. As it grew, this community of convicts
andex-convicts posed profound questions about the commonrights of
the subject, the responsibility of power, andthe possibility of
imaginative attachment to a land ofexile. Europeans were not just
conquerors motivated bybrutal colonising imperatives. Their culture
was ancientand infinitely complex, thickly woven with ideas
aboutspirituality, authority, self, and land, all of which
hadimplications for the way Australians live now. Conflictand
possession of Aboriginal land were at issue, as werethe ancient
habits of Europeans themselves.
