Writing Australian History on Screen reveals the depths in
Australian history from convict times to the present day. The
essays in this book are thematically driven and take a rounded
historical-cultural-sociological-psychological approach in
analyzing the various selected productions. In their analyses and
interpretations of the topic, the contributors interrogate the
intricacies in Australian history as represented in Australian
filmic period drama, taken from an Australian perspective.
Individually, and together as a body of authors, they highlight
past issues that, despite the society's changing attitudes over
time, still have relevance for the Australia of today. In speaking
to the subject, the contributing writers show a keen awareness that
addressing new areas arising from the humanities is key to
learning; and hence to developing an understanding of the
Australian culture, the society, and sense of the ever-unfurling
flag of an Australian something that is not yet a national
identity.
