The Earth Between Them
The Beale family of County Leix, Ireland descends from Christopher Beale (d.1638) of Offton, Suffolk. Christopher's son, Thomas Beale (1620- 1700) was the first of the Beales to emigrate to Ireland. The Beale family was Quaker in their religious beliefs and Joseph Beale's letters back home to Ireland reflect his Quaker upbringing. Joseph Beale (1801-1857) married Margaret Davis (1809-1877) in 1832. In 1852 Joseph left Ireland and traveled to Australia. The book contains letters he wrote back to his wife in Ireland. Eventually the family was able to move to Australia with Joseph. Descendents of Joseph and Margaret's eleven children live in Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania and the United States.

The Cartographic Eye
The Cartographic Eye is about the mythologies of land exploration, and about space and the colonial enterprise in particular. An innovative investigation of the presumptions, aesthetics and politics of Australian explorers' texts, it concentrates on the period 1820-1880. Simon Ryan looks at the journals of John Oxley, Thomas Mitchell, Charles Sturt and Ludwig Leichhardt and shows that they are not the simple, unadorned observations the authors would have us believe, but are complex networks of tropes. The Cartographic Eye scrutinises and undermines the scientific and literary methodology of exploration. Its insightful analysis of the tendencies of colonialism will make a major contribution to 'new historicist' interrogations of colonialism. It will be a crucial text for readers in Australian literary and cultural studies, and for those interested in colonial discourse and postcolonial theory.
The Oxford History of the British Empire: Volume V: Historiography
The Oxford History of the British Empire is a major new assessment of the Empire in the light of recent scholarship and the progressive opening of historical records. From the founding of colonies in North America and the West Indies in the seventeenth century to the reversion of Hong Kong to China at the end of the twentieth, British imperialism was a catalyst for far-reaching change. The Oxford History of the British Empire as a comprehensive study helps us to understand the end of Empire in relation to its beginning, the meaning of British imperialism for the ruled as well as for the rulers, and the significance of the British Empire as a theme in world history. This fifth and final volum...
Subverting the Empire
This paper examines the way in which contemporary Australian novelists use various tropes derived from exploration in order to embellish themes of personal search in their fiction. By doing so they have borrowed from the language and myths created by what was essentially an exercise in imperialism, and applied them to the quest by individuals in the settler society to find a permanent spiritual home in the new country. The exploration imagery proves to be apposite, in that just as the empire's hopes were dashed when exploration of the inland was repelled by the barren heart of the continent, so too has the metaphysical exploration of the same spaces foundered on uncompromising and withholding landscapes.
