The Death of Captain Cook
Glyn Williams
In a style that is more detective story than conventional biography, Williams explores the multiple narratives of Cook’s death. In short, Williams examines the story of Cook’s progress from obscurity to fame and, eventually, to infamy—a story that, until now, has never been fully told.

Edited by Judith Ryan
Edited by Chris Wallace-Crabbe
Ranging from the country's colonial beginnings to its more globally oriented present, the nineteen essays by distinguished scholars working on the cutting edge of the field present a multi-faceted view of the vast land down under. A central theme is the relation of cultural products to nature and history. Issues explored include problems of race and gender, colonialism and postcolonialism, individual and national identity, subjective experience and international connections.
