Fragments of Time
The discovery of slate at Willunga in 1840 was to shape the character and future of this small rural settlement forever.The news of inexhaustible slate quarries and the promise of land inexorably drew quarrymen, farmers, tradesmen and their families from Britain to the Willunga District in the mid-nineteenth century. Among these hopeful settlers were the Willunga slate carvers, a small group of men who used Willunga slate to carve an enduring collection of gravestones, mantelpieces and decorative plaques. This book shows aspects of life in the Province of South Australia through the lens of the Willunga slate carvers as their lives intersected with tumultuous events even as they carved the legacy that exists today. This fascinating account shows that their slate carvings are fragments of time, tangible memorials of experience reaching to us across generations from a unique confluence of time and place.
Paddy
Paddy is a story about family life in Somerset, Michigan during the first year of the American Civil War. It's a novel of adventure, intrigue, romance and comedy set in a background of historical places, many of which you can still see today as you drive along the Chicago Road from Jonesville through the Irish Hills to Clinton. Christmas 1860 is far from joyous. Clouds of war hover above a nation in disarray, and a break up of the Union seems inevitable. In a few months, president-elect Abraham Lincoln will be inaugurated. Continuing unrest among the southern states has emboldened slaves to flee north with bounty hunters in pursuit, and life in Somerset is about to change. Paddy O'Toole is t...

The Boy in the Bush
This is the first critical edition of The Boy in the Bush, a novel whose unlikely genesis has been surrounded in mystery and the subject of claim and counter-claim. A systematic study of all the extant textual documents has revealed a process of composition and revision which qualifies the novel to be treated unequivocally as part of the Lawrence canon. At Lawrence's suggestion an Australian nurse and part-time author, Mollie Skinner (whom he had met in 1922), wrote a tale set in late nineteenth-century Western Australia about a newly-arrived young Englishman's reactions to Perth and the outback. Lawrence's complete rewriting converted her production into an ambitious, powerful novel. The reading text here established eliminates all such instances of censorship and strips away the thousands of regularisings and miscopyings introduced by typists and typesetters. Based on Lawrence's autograph manuscript the text meticulously incorporates his subsequent revisions in the typescripts and proofs.
