I Wonder: The Life and Work of Ken Inglis Browne Peter
Ken Inglis was one of Australia's most creative, wide-ranging, and admired historians. Whether he was writing about religion, the media, nationalism, the 'civil religion' of Anzac, a subject he made his own, or collaborating on monumental histories of Australia or the remarkable men aboard the Dunera, he brought wit, erudition, and originality to the study of history. During a scholarly career spanning nearly seven decades, his humane, questioning approach won him a large and appreciative audience.
This collection of essays traces the life and work of this much-loved historian and observer of Australia life. Alongside his history writing, he pioneered press criticism in Australia, contributed journalism to magazines and newspapers, and served as vice-chancellor of the fledgling University of Papua New Guinea.
