Peter Rose — 25 November 2021

Stuart's many contributions to Australian Book Review over the past forty years were always edifying, engaging and admirably punctual. Of all the reference works I commissioned at OUP in the 1990s, The Oxford Companion to Australian History was the most considerable. Working with Stuart (and his fellow editors Graeme Davison and John Hirst) was a privilege. His stamp on the discipline is immense, our collective loss keenly felt.
