Abstract
[Extract] There are books that, without you even knowing it, have shaped who you are as a thinker. I was reminded of much on re-reading Humphrey McQueen's 'A New Britannica: An argument concerning the social origins of Australian radicalism and nationalism'. First published in 1970, my well-thumbed third edition from 1986 had been picked up at a second-hand store to replace an earlier fourth edition published in 2004 and now yellowing on some long-lost acquaintance's booshelf.
