Five Fathers Five Australian Poets of the Pre-Academic Era

Murray's characteristically vivid and emphatic introductory essays to the poets, of whom he is in a real sense himself made, as heir and successor, and his 'essential' selections from their work, and he suggests why their accomplishments have been eclipsed in the wider bourse of English-language literary reputations. The Academy has much to answer for, yet the freedom the poets enjoyed was partly a result of their very neglect by institutions.Murray, Les A. is the author of 'Five Fathers Five Australian Poets of the Pre-Academic Era' with ISBN 9781857540871 and ISBN 1857540875.
