Australian Chaplains At Gallipoli: Role, Impact And Influence, Daniel Reynaud, Larisa Miler
Daniel Reynaud
This study of the role, impact and influence of Australian chaplains during the Gallipoli campaign identifies the formal and informal roles played by chaplains, and how their work was perceived and received by the men they served.

Authenticating The Imaginary: Cloaking With History The Characters Of O’Brian’S Fiction And Weir’S Film, Daniel Reynaud
Daniel Reynaud
The interaction of scholarly history with popular history has provoked debate over the value and place of the latter in creating historical consciousness. The various issues meet conveniently in the Aubrey-Maturin novels of Patrick O’Brian and the Peter Weir film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003).

It compares and contrasts the ways in which the …
