Writing Australian History On-screen: Television and Film Period Dramas "Down Under" reveals the depths of Australian history from convict times to the present day. The essays in this book are thematically driven and take a rounded historical-cultural-sociological-psychological approach in analyzing the various selected productions. In their analyses and interpretations of the topic, the contributors interrogate the intricacies in Australian history as represented in Australian filmic period drama, taken from an Australian perspective. Individually, and together as a body of authors, they highlight past issues that, despite the society’s changing attitudes over time, still have relevance for the Australia of today. In speaking to the subject, the contributing writers show a keen awareness that addressing new areas arising from the humanities is key to learning; and hence to developing an understanding of the Australian culture, the society, and sense of the ever-unfurling flag of an Australian something that is not yet a national identity.

In present times, with the rapid increases of global modernization, and with world political ideologies undergoing sweeping changes, people’s perceptions of the stepmother are also changing. Through the lenses of race, ethnicity, gender, and class, this book explores the role and experiences pertaining to the stepmother in various cultures. Contributors examine and compare familial and societal duties as well as the personal realities and experiences of the stepmother in real life. By forming a direct comparison between the fictionalized archetype and their real world counterparts, the question of the original intention behind these portrayals is brought to the forefront.
