Since its first publication by Melbourne University Press Australia
s Home has been in constant demand. The author summarizes his
story, from 1788 to 1960, as a material triumph and an aesthetic
calamity'. Readers have thoroughly enjoyed the combination of
informative detail and quiet humour, and the architectural features
of a house, a street, or a suburb, which have up until now been
simply different , gain an added interest and significance. People
read Australia s Home for pure pleasure as an eventful illuminating
story. Householders read it to see their house and streetscapes
afresh through Boyd s eyes, their own vision both criticized and
enriched by his. Architects and planners read it to agonize with
Boyd over built forms and townscapes ...But the book is most
remarkable of all as history, a great bit of poaching by an
architect-journalist who never claimed to write history at all.
