Spinning Tops and Gumdrops takes us back to childhood in colonial Australia. The delight of children at play is universal, but the pleasure these children experience as depicted through the book's photographs is through their 'imagination, skill and daring' rather than through possessions. Children play quoits and jacks, hide and seek, cricket with a kerosene tin for a wicket, dress ups and charades. They climb trees, run races, and build rafts to sail on the local waterhole. The photographs show children happily absorbed in the play of their own making. Being a child in colonial Australia was also tough. It was a time when school yard disagreements were sorted out with fists and 'the loss of a little claret'. A time when children could view public hangings and premature death was frequent, especially taking the very young and vulnerable though dysentery, whooping cough or diphtheria. The lasting impression left by the contemporary accounts, photographs, etchings and paintings of colonial children in Spinning Tops and Gumdrops is their possession of qualities of resilience, self-sufficiency and acceptance of their lot. Perhaps it was through lack of choice, or of knowing no other. Nevertheless, these were qualities that put them in good stead for the challenges many faced in their adulthood. Interestingly, these are qualities on which contemporary society still places a high value, but which today seem a little more elusive.

Imperial Boredom offers a radical reconsideration of the British Empire during its heyday in the nineteenth century. Challenging the long-established view that that the Empire was about adventure and excitement, with heroic men and intrepid women settling new lands and spreading commerce and civilization around the globe, this thoroughly researched, engagingly written, and lavishly illustrated analysis instead argues that boredom was central to the experience of Empire. This volume looks at what it was actually like to sail to Australia, to serve as a soldier in South Africa, or to accompany a colonial official to the hill stations of India, and agrues that for numerous men and women, from governors to convicts, explorers to tourists, the Victorian Empire was dull and disappointing. Drawing on diaries, letters, memoirs, and travelogues, it demonstrates that all across the empire, men and women found the landscapes monotonous, the physical and psychological distance from home debilitating, the routines of everyday life wearisome, and their work unfulfilling. Ocean voyages were tedious; colonial rule was bureaucratic; warfare was infrequent; economic opportunity was limited; and indigenous people were largely invisible. The seventeenth-century Empire may have been about wonder and marvel, but the Victorian Empire was a far less exciting project.

Look at the Hilzinger washing machine, costing £3 in 1880. It certainly seems rather primitive but did it get the clothes clean and how hard was it to operate? And what about Dr Allen’s belt, powered by the magic of electricity? Could it really help with rheumatism and lumbago, as its maker promised? Advertisements can reveal a great deal about an age. Gleaned from the pages of long forgotten publications, such as The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, Australian Town and Country Journal and Australasian Sketcher with Pen and Pencil, together with dozens of regional newspapers, they paint an intriguing picture of the world of our great-great-grandparents. With over 450 images, this book is one to pore over and enjoy: perhaps that electric hairbrush really did cure baldness and wouldn’t it be wonderful of those strange cannabis cigarettes did relieve asthma? Advertisements for condoms? It was just a matter of knowing what to look for. In some ways it is striking how little has changed. It comes as no surprise, for example, to discover that colonial women found it hard to resist a ‘bargain’, nor that they worried a great deal about their complexions and the ‘sweetness’ of their breath. Colonial men had their own concerns, prominent among them those old bugbears of advancing baldness and retreating virility. For those seeking to revive flagging passions there were always the ‘racy’ tales advertised each week in the illustrated papers (price one shilling, posted in a sealed envelope). Equally striking are the many differences in attitude and outlook revealed by old advertisements. It is curious, for example, that for most of the nineteenth century nobody—except perhaps the very young—seem to have been much concerned about body shape. It was only in the 1880s and ’90s that advertisements began to appear offering products designed to deal with ‘unsightly’ corpulence or to plump out that ‘underdeveloped’ bosom. It cannot have taken advertisers long to realise that they were onto a good thing exploiting those particular anxieties. Emporium uses collections of advertisements as starting points in assembling a series of self-contained ‘snapshots’. Introduced by a section on shopping, a succession of double-page spreads, each with its eyewitness accounts and contemporary descriptions, work to paint a lively and entertaining picture of everyday life in the Australian colonies. Although this is a book about advertising, it is really also all about the everyday lives of nineteenth-century Australians. The focus throughout is on the lives of so-called ordinary people—the working men, women and children whose struggles all too often merit little more than a footnote or two in many of our national histories. How did they go about getting married? How did they plan their families? How did they keep clean? How did they cook their food? Advertisements can answer all these questions. Humorous – quirky – fascinating – you will find this book compulsive! Edwin Barnard is an author and designer with an enduring interest in the everyday lives of nineteenth-century Australians. His previous books include Exiled for the National Library of Australia. Edwin lives in Avalon NSW.

전설의 무법자 빌리 더 키드와 네드 켈리가 만났다면? 물론 상상이다. 이들의 만남은 없었다. 동시대에 살면서 숱한 논란과 전설을 남기고 거의 같은 시기에 생을 마감한 두 인물. 이들이 한자리에서 조우하기에는 미국의 뉴멕시코와 호주 빅토리아라는 물리적 거리가 만만찮았고 무엇보다 둘 다 너무도 일찍 죽음을 맞았다. 이들이 1년 차이로 세상을 떠났을 때 빌리 더 키드는 21세, 네드 켈리는 25세였다. 짧은 생 오랜 전설로 남은 이들은 전설적인 무법자로 통하지만 그 결은 사뭇 다르다. 한 명은 말 그대로 무법자 다른 한명은 국민 영웅의 인상이 짙다. 이 책은 이들이 만났다면 어떤 일이 벌어졌을까 하는 단순한 호기심과 상상에서 시작됐다. 궁리 끝에 두 인물을 잘 드러내는 글을 함께 실었다. 수많은 책과 영화, 만화, 음반 등으로 꾸준히 재생산되어온 전설의 무법자, 『빌리 더 키드』 이 책은 그 키드를 사살한 보안관 팻 개럿이 쓴 전기물이다. 5판부터는 팻 개럿이 자신의 절친한 친구이자 저널리스트인 마샬 애쉬먼 업슨과 공저(더 정확히는 업슨의 대필로)로 집필했다고 밝히기도 했으나 현재 영어권에서 출간되는 책들은 팻 개럿을 단독 저자로 하고 있다. 오늘날 빌리 더 키드를 전설로 남게 하는데 지대한 공헌을 한 책으로 평가받는다. 오랫동안 판매가 부진했으나 저자 사후에 주목받기 시작했다. 특히 명성에 비해 자료가 희귀했던 빌리 더 키드를 연구하는 역사가들에게 필독서로 자리매김했다. 본명은 헨리 맥카시(Henry McCarthy)로 자칭 “윌리엄 보니”와 별칭 “빌리 더 키드”로 더 유명한 이 인물은 스물한 살 때 사살되기까지 8명을 살해한 혐의를 받았다. 특히 빌리 더 키드는 각각 상회를 운영하는 두 개의 조직이 지역의 이권을 놓고 충돌한 “링컨 카운티 전쟁(Lincoln County War)”에서 주도적인 역할을 한 것으로 유명하다. 이 충돌로 링컨 카운티는 한때 미국에서 가장 위험한 지역으로 분류됐고, 10대 시절부터 투옥과 탈옥을 일삼았던 키드는 주요 수배자로 죽을 때까지 쫓긴다. 그러나 쫓기는 과정에서도 끊임없이 소나 말을 절도하는 등 종횡무진 대담무쌍한 기질로 전설을 만들어낸다. 우상화된 낭만적인 총잡이 이면에 잔인한 학살자이자 범죄자인 키드를 맹목적으로 미화하는 여타 책들과 달리 중립적인 접근 방식을 취하고 있다. 다만 키드의 생애에 직접 관련이 있는 저자의 주관을 완전히 덜어내지는 못했다는 평은 참고할 만한다. “호주의 전설이자 아이콘” “호주 역사상 단일 분야 가장 많은 책을 양산한 인물” “세계 최초의 장편 영화” 네드 켈리의 이름 앞에 붙는 수식어들 중에 일부다. 「제릴더리 편지」는 편지는 1879년에 작성됐다. 1870년 열네 살이었던 네드 켈리가 처음으로 경찰에 체포된 이후 1879년까지의 사건들을 묘사하고 있다. 편지 원본에는 구두점이 없고 문법에서 벗어난 비문이 많은 반면 철자의 오류는 거의 없다고 알려져 있다. 앞뒤 상황 설명이 없고 경찰에 쫓기는 긴박한 상황에서 짬짬이 구술했기 때문에 쉽게 이해하긴 어렵다. 그러나 이 편지는 켈리가 무법자가 될 수밖에 없었던 이유에 대해, 당대 부패한 경찰이 약자를 상대로 저지른 만행에 대해 강렬한 울림을 전한다는 평을 얻고 있다. 켈리가 문맹이라는 항간의 소문은 사실이 아니나 이 편지는 그가 구술한 것을 같은 갱 단원 조 번이 받아 적은 것으로 시적이고 강렬하다는 평도 받는다.
