About the Authors

Concentrating on immigration and settlement from England and on the declining influence of the English over two centuries, this book studies "the English" in Australia. As the largest group originally making up the Australian population, the English have been traditionally considered as the "norm" and thus rarely has the English influence been studied in detail. However, they might now very likely be seen as a "foreign" element.
- Gives a unique perspective on Australian history and society
- Well illustrated with pictures and maps
- Covers the entire span of Australian immigration history

"That promoters of an Australian national identity, whatever their ilk, have had a tense reltaionship with ideas of Englishness and continue to do so is certainly a topic worthy of further study. What The English in Australia brings to that study is a careful demography of England-born migration. Scholars wishing to gather this kind of inofmration from a straightfoward and well-written package will appreciate this work and general readers interested in their own Englishness should enjoy the skillful way Jupp toggles between the national histories of Britain and Australia as they relate to English migrants." - Danielle C. Kinsey, University of Illinois
