Out Here Down Under is a collection of documents and papers illuminating the development and character of ancient âhistory as a discipline in the Antipodes. It considers especially the distinctive and extraordinarily âpopular program, championed by E. A. Judge, of studying classical and biblical corpora together under âone discipline, with an emphasis on the interpretation of documentary sources. âIn twenty chapters, this volume considers such issues as the relationship between British and âAntipodean scholarship, the story and legacy of Antipodean scholars of the ancient world, the ânature and ideology of ancient history programs at schools and universities (especially in NSW âand at Macquarie), the interaction between biblical and classical disciplines, and the function of âhistory in contemporary Australia. These texts, mostly written by Judge himself throughout his career, appear here with new introductory notes outlining their historical significance for the discipline and Judge's own practice.

Industry Reviews

“The sublime scholarship of E. A. Judge, Australia’s foremost historian of the ancient northern world, is here brought to bear on the modern southern world. Australian society and culture are so lasered in in this collection that fresh perspectives arise in plain sight from the sources in startling contrast to the ideologies which mire us in convention. The Judge way to historical truth is the way to freedom and a better way, especially for the university and public life.”
—Stuart Piggin, associate professor of history, Macquarie University

“E. A. Judge is uniquely placed to blend memoir, history, and scholarship in this study of classical and early Christian studies in Australia and New Zealand. Readers will gain insights into eighteenth-to-twenty-first-century Australasian debates, philosophies, and contributions in these fields. This book gave me a renewed appreciation for the key role that Antipodean scholars, particularly at Macquarie University’s Ancient History Documentary Research Centre, have played over the past six decades.”
—Amelia Brown, senior lecturer in Greek history & language, University of Queensland
