This book, the first comprehensive history of republican thought and activity in Australia, traces debate around an Australian republic from 1788 to the present. It explains the pivotal role played by republican philosophies in the decades before responsible government was granted to the Australian colonies in 1856 and up to Federation in 1901. Controversial in many ways, The Captive Republic shows that republicanism has not necessarily been a minor force in Australia's political history and illustrates the striking similarities between the arguments of both republicans and monarchists in the 1990s and those which existed 150 years ago. This book will be essential reading for all those with an interest in political and intellectual history. It fills a large gap in Australian history and will become the essential work on Australian republicanism.
