The individuals selected for consideration within this thesis are a representational cross-section of the colonial society which was established at NSW. They are: the twice convicted felon Margaret Catchpole; the Governor’s wife, Elizabeth Macquarie; self-made blue blood, John Macarthur, settler’s daughter, Mary Rouse and Commissioner John Bigge.<br/><br/>Description: Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a B A (Hons) in History, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/2189 Title: The Formation of Right-Wing Anti-Elitist Discourse Amongst Australian Intellectuals: 1972 - 1988<br/><br/>Authors: Belford, Aubrey<br/><br/>Abstract: This thesis analyses the historical development of anti-elitist discourse amongst Australian right-wing intellectuals. Examining Quadrant magazine and neo-liberal think tanks between 1972 and 1988, this thesis argues that right-wing anti-elitist discourse formed initially in the 1970s in Quadrant as a conservative critique of the cultural values and institutional power of the intellectual left. Such a critique drew on both the intellectual traditions of Australian conservatism and the ‘new class’ idea imported from American neo-conservatives. As the 1980s progressed, this discourse began to be adopted by neo-liberal think tanks, who also modified the discourse into a critique of the welfare state.<br/><br/>Description: Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a B A (Hons) in History, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/2188 Title: Prior to Bolingbroke : How a ‘minor’ poet and diplomat shaped the greatest events of his day<br/><br/>Authors: Emanuel, Phillip L<br/><br/>Abstract: My thesis is an attempt to adjust the historical record in reference to one who has been for a long time considered a minor figure, and to indicate the supreme political and commercial influence of Matthew Prior (1664-1721) during the Tory administration of the final years of Queen Anne. In this respect I have dealt with his guiding role in the Treaty of Utrecht and accompanying Treaty of Commerce, and with his creation of many of the political ideas later used by Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke in the formation of the ‘Idea of a Patriot King’.<br/><br/>Description: Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a B A (Hons) in History, 2006.
