More Details
"Tucked away in the nespapers and journals of a hundred years ago, Clark's journalism is familiar to few people today, for little of it has previously been reprinted. The reader will find that these selections throw a penetrating light on the intellectual and social life of colonial Melbourne, on its motley humanity, as well as on its leaders and controversial personalities. Always readable, his writings provide a fresh way of understanding the culture and society of the time, for Clarke was not only a vivid recorder who illumined it by his critical intelligence and humane compssion. Collected, these sketches reveal themselves, too, as a considerabe literary achievement, of a kind that has been largely neglected."
