Descripción
Sumario:Imperial Spaces explores how the Irish and Scots imagined themselves within the landscapes of the Australian colonies. Using letters and diaries as well as records of collective activities, the book examines how the Irish and Scottish built new identities as settlers in the unknown spaces of Empire.
Based on personal letters and diaries and collective records, explores how two of the most influential minority groups of white settlers in the British Empire grounded themselves within the landscapes of Victoria and New South Wales, and how spatially-constructed colonial identities were formed.
