Miles Franklin: Her Brilliant Career by Colin Roderick

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to right foredge. Dust jacket has some wear to the top edge and is now enclosed in protective plastic covering.

An intriguing book about a unique woman. Colin Roderick wrote this book to restore Miles Franklin to what he believed was her rightful place in the Australian story: not so much a feminist as a creator of a new mode in Australian literature.

Colin Roderick was closely associated with Miles Franklin for ten years preceding her death in 1954, and she nominated him, in her will, as one of the original judges of the Miles Franklin Literary Prize. (back cover)
