1 y separately published work icon Diversions in a Tented Field : Theatricality and the Images and Perceptions of Warfare in Sydney Entertainments, 1879-1902. Ailsa McPherson , Sydney : 2001 Z1914235 2001 single work thesis This thesis examines the theatricality which accompanied the establishment, development and deployment of the colonial army in New South Wales during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. It investigates the transfer to the colony of the military ethos of the Imperial power, and explores the ways in which performances of military spectacle, in both theatrical and paratheatrical contexts, were interpreted by the colonists.
