Wild Bleak Bohemia: Marcus Clarke, Adam Lindsay Gordon and Henry Kendall

No Customer Reviews

Meticulously using contemporary newspaper reports, court records, published memoirs, private letters and diaries, Michael Wilding tells the story of three troubled geniuses of Australian writing and their world of poetry and poverty, alcohol and opiates, horse-racing and theater, journalism and publishing. Gordon shot himself, unable to pay the printer of his poems; Kendall ended up in a mental hospital after forging a check, and Clarke died bankrupt for a second time.
