Edited by the distinguished Australian poet and critic Geoffrey Dutton, this anthology brings together a diverse chorus of intellectuals, politicians, historians, and cultural commentators to argue both sides of the republic debate with passion and rigour, set against a backdrop of a rapidly changing post-colonial Australia.\n\nThe collection illuminates the deep tensions between tradition and modernity, monarchy and self-determination, that have long simmered beneath the surface of Australian civic life. Dutton's editorial hand is assured and provocative, drawing out the contradictions in Australian national consciousness with the precision of a seasoned literary mind. Decades after its publication, the questions it raises remain unanswered — making this volume not merely a historical document, but an eerily prescient mirror held up to a nation still searching for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216198148315,"sku":"2026200014447-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e6f1286e-90d4-482b-9f8e-e2557ba95a2f.png?v=1788405133","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014447-secondhand-republican-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
