" Russel Ward was at the University of New England as a lecturer in the 1950s and deputy chancellor for eight years. In his book, The Australian Legend, Ward argued that the Australian bush was egalitarian and that this influenced Australian culture. Ward's book was both influential and controversial and is grouped among the classic historical references on Australia history. In the 40 years since its first publication, there were three editions and it has been reprinted 15 times. His thesis in Legend was later challenged by Humphrey McQueen in 1970. It would influence the development of the Australian New Left. (Wikipedia)
