A. W. Martin is best known as biographer of Sir Henry Parkes,
Father of Federation, and Sir Robert Menzies, Australia's longest
serving prime minister. Martin, Foundation Professor of History at
La Trobe University, Melbourne, brought a deep and insightful
understanding to Australia's history in both the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. This volume brings together a major essay on
Parkes and several significant studies of particular aspects of
Menzies' long career. It includes notable analyses of the
development of historical research in Australia. Especially
important is an undoubted classic, 'The ""Whig"" View of Australian
History'. These essays demonstrate the range and depth of Martin's
considerable scholarship, and illustrate why he is rightly
acknowledged as a central figure in the mid-twentieth-century
development of research in Australian history.
