From Robert Menzies' famous speech on 'The Forgotten People' to former Hawthorn coach John Kennedy's rousing three-quarter time address to his players on Grand Final Day, "Well May We Say" shows that the mood, character and history of Australia and its people can be defined by its words. In a time when little attention is paid to public speaking, this collection provides a reminder that this country has a unique and distinguished tradition of public oratory. Included here are speeches by Paul Keating, Patrick White, Sir William Deane and many more. From the inspirational to the eulogising, from the political to the satirical, from the sacred to the controversial, the speeches in this long overdue anthology are each deftly introduced by innovative researcher Sally Warhaft.
