Book launch: The Middling Sort by Marian Quartly

Emeritus Professor of History Marian Quartly will discuss her book The Middling Sort: A South Australian Family History. She will foreground the role of class in the making of her ancestors and in their making of South Australian society.

In The Middling Sort historian Marian Quartly turns her gaze on the history of her own South Australian family. A pioneer of ethnographic and feminist history, she is a warm, perceptive, yet unflinching observer of their triumphs and tragedies. In this delightful book, Quartly shows how family history can illuminate the whole society. (Graeme Davison AO, Emeritus Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor).
