Description

This book examines Eric Bogles songs about the Great War within the geographies and socio-cultural contexts in which they were written and consumed. From Anzac Day in Australia and Turkey to the `The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and from small Aboriginal communities in the Coorong to the influence of Prime Ministers and rock stars on a world stage, we are urged to contemplate the nature and importance of popular culture in shaping contemporary notions of history and national identity. It is entirely appropriate that we do so through the words of an artist who Melody Maker described as `the most important songwriter of our time.
