Description
The Encyclopedia of Adam Lindsay Gordon covers the story of one of the most picturesque and tragic literary lives to have lived under the Southern Cross. His poetry appealed to the lettered and the unlettered, from the solicitor to the stockman, with classics such as'Doubtful Dreams', 'How We Beat the Favourite' and 'The Sick Stockrider'. Compiled for the first time as an encyclopedia, with more than 300 entries including the people, the places and the poetry associated with Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833-1870) - Australia's national poet 'who sang the first great songs these lands can claim to be their own'.
