Condition: SECONDHAND
This is a secondhand book. The jacket image is a photograph of the exact copy we have in stock. This image shows the condition of this book. Further condition remarks are below.
Edition: 1st ed.,
Condition remarks:
Bound in blue cloth with a blue/green spine, the binding remains intact and square; the cloth shows general age-related fading and light soiling, the spine cloth is worn with some fraying and rubbing to the extremities, and the gilt lettering on the spine retains partial legibility. No dust jacket present. Internally the pages show age-toning throughout, consistent with a 1912 publication, with some waviness to the text block, though pages appear complete and intact.
A richly detailed biographical account, this work chronicles the life of Adam Lindsay Gordon, the celebrated Australian bush poet, tracing his connections across both England and Australia through the recollections and research of Humphris and Sladen, who reconstruct Gordon's personal relationships, literary circle, and turbulent history to present a portrait of a man whose verse defined a colonial era.
