Author: John Barnes

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 438


This work documents hitherto unknown aspects of Furphy's life, and recreates the circumstances of the period from his perspective. It throws new light on the relationship between the author's life and his writing, and challenges some of the stock notions about Australia in the 1890s. Furphy is seen in the context of late-19th century Australian life as a Christian Socialist, an ardent nationalist, a moralist and a dedicated writer.
