Daniel Hempel

Australia as the Antipodal Utopia

European Imaginations From Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Australia has a fascinating history of visions. As the antipode to Europe, Australia provided a radically different and uniquely fertile ground for envisioning places, spaces and societies. 'The Antipodal Utopia' evaluates this complex intellectual history by mapping out how Western visions of Australia evolved from antiquity to the modern period.
