Abstract
– their tomes amassing material but often aiding little in the deeper understanding of Australian political culture. John Edwards’ magisterial two-volume life of Curtin is the standout exception here. Paul Keating tells Wallace that such accounts written amidst the political drama will pick up ‘contemporary feelings, and contemporary issues’, but that they remain ‘like polaroids of a busy life’ (223).
