À propos de l?auteur
Richard Ernest Nowell Twopeny was a journalist, editor, and former Australian rules footballer whose work contributed to both literary and civic life in Australia and New Zealand during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on 1 August 1857 in Rutland, United Kingdom, he became known for his thoughtful observations of colonial society, most notably through his publication Town Life in Australia. In his journalistic and editorial career, often under the name R. E. N. Twopeny, he established a reputation for sharp commentary on urban development, social change, and the evolving identity of settler societies. His writing was marked by a balance of British perspective and colonial insight, capturing the tension between inherited cultural frameworks and the distinct experiences of life in Australia and New Zealand. In addition to his literary contributions, Twopeny had a background in sport, having played Australian rules football. He died in London on 2 September 1915 at the age of 58, leaving behind a body of work that reflected both the spirit and contradictions of his era.

Town Life In Australia (Edition1) (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Town Life in Australia offers a perceptive and layered examination of urban development in late 19th-century Australia, capturing the emerging social fabric of its major cities. The account reflects how architecture, commerce, and daily habits contributed to the shaping of a distinctly Australian urban character, while still echoing remnants of British influence. It reveals the contrasts between cities like Melbourne and Sydney, not just in pace or aesthetics, but in values, civic organization, and public demeanor. The narrative uncovers how urban expansion reflected broader ambitions of cultural identity, class formation, and economic positioning. Through comparisons and street-level observations, the work captures the tensions between imitation and innovation, familiarity and independence. It reveals how cities functioned as laboratories for national self-definition, navigating imported customs while forming their own rhythms. The writing elevates everyday details - storefronts, traffic, social clubs - into reflections of progress and complexity. This portrayal of town life becomes more than description; it is a lens into a society defining itself through its cities. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789373409092
