(University of NSW) B.D. (University of Sydney) Grad. Dip. Min. (Melbourne College of Divinity) School of Arts Faculty of Arts Griffith University A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 ABSTRACT The Anglican Church of Australia agreed to a national constitution in 1962. Yet at a national level it is hardly a cohesive body with a sense of unity and common purpose. Historically, Australian Anglicanism developed along regional lines, with the result that diocesan separateness rather than national unity became enshrined as a foundational principle of Anglicanism in Australia. This study questions this fundamental premise of the Anglican tradition in Australia. It argues (1) that it is not a true reflection of the Anglican ethos, both in its English origins and worldwide, and (2) that it prevents Anglicanism in Australia from embracing its national vocation. An alternative tradition has been present, in fact, within Australian Anglicanism from the beginning, although it has not been considered to be part of the mainstream. Bishop Broughton, the first Anglican bishop in Australia, was deeply sensitive to the colonial context in which the Anglican tradition was being planted, and he adapted it accordingly.

    LOOKING FOR HOME IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES: NINETEENTH-CENTURY AUSTRALIAN-IRISH WOMEN WRITERS AND THE PROBLEM OF HOME-MAKING By Mary A.Burston Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for Doctor of Philosophy by major thesis. School of Communication, Culture and Language, Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development, Victoria University, Melbourne, 2009. I STUDENT DECLARATION I, Mary A. Burston declare that the PhD thesis, Looking for Home in all the Wrong Places: Nineteenth Century Australian-Irish Women Writers and the Problem of Home-Making, is no more than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, figures and appendices, references and footnotes. The thesis contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other academic degree or diploma. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my own work. Signed Name: Mary A. Burston. Date ....... :Z.?. ~ .-9-~- ... ~P.~ .................... 11 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I deeply appreciate the support, encouragement and the critical intellectual work of my principal supervisor, Associate Professor Michele Grossman of Victoria University, Melbourne. I owe Associate Professor Michele Grossman my deepest respect and gratitude. Professor Brian Matthews and Dr. Paul Adams were important mentors at the earlier stages in the writing of the thesis. Emeritus Professor John McLaren of Victoria University, Melbourne provided invaluable assistance at the later stages of writing. His extensive knowledge about Australian literary history has been critical to developing my understanding of Australian national and literary culture. This thesis would not have been written had it not been for the award of the National Australia Bank-Trinity College Dublin Scholarship through the Europe-Australia Centre at Victoria University, Melbourne.
