Her Sunburnt Country: The Extraordinary Literary Life of Dorothea Mackellar by Deborah Fitzgerald

Book Description

Secondhand. Fine condition.

Battling against a masculine tradition of Australian bush poetry led by the likes of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968) boldly carved out a place for herself, leaving an indelible mark on the Australian imagination.

Now, for the first time, the poet's unconventional life story is told - a hidden gem of Australian history, and a tale of one woman's extraordinary passion for her poetry, her family, and her country.
