Description
In The FitzGerald Brothers’ Circus, Gillian Arrighi reveals how and why the biggest Australasian circus of the later nineteenth century mattered to Australians and New Zealanders. Through vivid explorations of their tent shows, the personalities driving the circus organisation, and the circus’s orchestrated ‘performances’ in the broader sphere of public life, this book presents fresh insights into the significance of the circus in Australasia at the turn of the twentieth century, and in particular, brings to light the unique contribution of the FitzGerald Brothers’ Circus to shaping popular ideas about Australian nationhood.
