Elizabeth Durack: Art & Life: Selected Writings edited by Perpetua Durack Clancy

Book Description.

Secondhand. Very good condition. Slight bend to front cover. Minimal edgewear.

This book contains extracts from diaries, letters, essays, travelogues and poetry written by Elizabeth Durack (1915-2000) over seven decades. With wit and candour, the writing reveals some of the most important influences and episodes - and the paradox - of her life.

Durack read and travelled widely and drew inspiration from many sources: from the men and women she knew; from classical Western and ancient Aboriginal traditions; and from contemporary politics.
