It also addresses the historical, political and sociological reasons that led to British settlement. It was first published in 1986. Hughes was a native of Australia who became a well-known art critic, living in Europe and then New York, where he became art critic for Time magazine. Hughes's interest in Australia's convict era began in the early 1970s, when he was filming a TV documentary about the history of Australian art that took him to Port Arthur in Tasmania.[3] Awards
