Hardback. Paul De Serville, Oxford University Press Australia. Pounds and Pedigrees: The Upper Class in Victoria 1850-80 by Paul De Serville is a sweeping history of public and private life in Melbourne's establishment during the mid-to-late nineteenth century. A detailed study of the morals, beliefs, and lifestyles of Victoria's upper classes in the decades following the gold rush, De Serville's exhaustive work is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in colonial Australian social history. Complete with extensive biographical entries, a bibliography, an index, and appendices including lists of landowners in 1879 and club memberships, it is as much a reference work as it is a narrative history - authoritative, richly detailed, and unlikely to be superseded. Hardback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780195545173-SECONDHAND
