"This first major history of Paddington in forty years provides a fresh and revealing perspective on this celebrated heritage suburb in Sydney - one of the largest and most intact Victorian enclaves in the world. Leading historians and specialists explore the makeup of Paddington's diverse community - including its Indigenous, colonial, post-war migrant, bohemian and LGBTQ residents, and a succession of gentrifiers - and discuss the evolution of the suburb's unique architecture and landscape."--Inside cover.
