Grote, Wakefield, Light and Gouger are just some of the well-known streets and squares in the city of Adelaide. But the personal stories of how these and other reformers came to be named in Adelaide's streets has been largely overlooked. Who were they? What drove them? Why do some now believe they constitute a 'pantheon of dissent'? In Behind the Streets of Adelaide Dr Jeff Nicholas pays tribute to the 62 men and women named in Adelaide's streets. He mines their 'biographical archaeology' with rigour and intellectual acuity, and illuminates each respective story with a lyrical turn of phrase.
