A richly detailed work of Australian media history, The Journalistic Javelin: An Illustrated History of the Bulletin chronicles the rise and enduring influence of one of Australia's most iconic and provocative magazines, The Bulletin, from its founding in 1880 through its decades of cultural dominance. Patricia Rolfe presents a vivid account of the publication's role in shaping Australian national identity, political discourse, and literary culture, tracing how it launched the careers of legendary writers and artists while championing a distinctly Australian voice. The narrative uncovers the personalities, feuds, and editorial visions that drove the magazine forward, illustrating how The Bulletin became a powerful platform for both radical nationalism and sharp social commentary. Written with authority and a keen eye for historical detail, the work balances scholarly rigor with an engaging, accessible tone that will appeal to historians, journalists, and general readers alike.
