Synopsis

"Catherine Reforms" explores the reign of Catherine the Great, a pivotal figure in 18th-century Russia, examining whether she was a true enlightened reformer or a shrewd autocrat focused on solidifying her power. The book delves into her attempts at modernization, influenced by Enlightenment ideals, and her impact on European politics. 

 
Catherine's reforms included legal and administrative changes, such as her attempt to codify Russian laws, and significant territorial expansion, acquiring Crimea and parts of Poland. The book argues that Catherine’s reforms, while seemingly progressive, were primarily aimed at strengthening her autocracy, challenging traditional views of her as solely an enlightened despot. It analyzes her social and economic policies, including those related to serfdom, and her foreign policy achievements. 

 
By using primary and secondary sources, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of Catherine's reign, evaluating her long-term impact on Russia and her strategic political goals. The book progresses through key areas of reform, from legal and administrative changes to social and economic policies, culminating in an assessment of Catherine’s lasting influence. 

 
This approach provides a balanced perspective on Catherine the Great's complex legacy, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Russian history, European politics, and the challenges of autocratic rule.

    Originally conceived as a one-man stage play that toured around Australia in all major capital cities and regional centres for more than 2 years. In the stage version I performed all of the characters, recited all the poetry and sang all of the songs. With the help of lighting and screens, I transitioned between the various characters with ease. "However, I soon realized that producing an audio version of the play would require some help. So, I reached out to a couple of old mates—Jack Thompson, Michael Caton, and others—who kindly stepped in to contribute to the project. I am deeply grateful to each of them for their support." 
    During the two years of researching the life of Banjo Paterson, I unearthed a man vastly different from the one I had previously read about. Rather than focusing on the celebrated poet and war hero, I sought the intimate details—the romances, the heartbreaks, and the personal experiences that shaped his life and inspired his writing. The play also reveals the real story behind his creation of the iconic lyrics to "Waltzing Matilda." Beginning at Sydney Grammar School, it journeys through Paterson’s remarkable life—as a boy, a farmer, a solicitor, and a soldier. 
    I hope you enjoy the journey as we travel into the fascinating world of Andrew Barton Paterson CBE.

    A unique look at the lives of two daughters that highlights the dichotomy of lives of royal women, as both daughters and mothers of kings, who also knew both prison and power. 
     
     
     
    The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword. If princes fought for their succession to crowns, the princesses were traded—usually by their mothers—to strangers for political power without the bloodshed. Years before what would today be marriageable age, royal girls were dispatched to countries whose speech was unknown to them and there became the property of unknown men. Eleanor's daughters Marie and Alix were abandoned in Paris when she divorced Louis VII of France. By Henry II, she bore Matilda, Aliénor, and Joanna. Joanna was imprisoned by William II of Sicily and worse treated by her brutal second husband in Toulouse. If Eleanor was libeled as a whore, Aliénor's descendants include two saints, Louis of France and Fernando of Spain. And then there were the illegitimate daughters, whose lives read like novels . . .
