Synopsis

<p>Richard Mahony is a restless man. Ballarat, England, Melbourne, Europe, the bush: elsewhere is always better. Searching for a place, a meaning, a life, Mahony and his wife Mary journey from wealth to poverty, order to chaos, sanity to the asylum. <i>The Fortunes of Richard Mahony</i> is a towering novel. </p> <p>This edition reproduces the text of the 1930 Heinemann edition, which gathered all three books in one volume. It includes a new introduction by Peter Craven.</p> <p><b>Henry Handel Richardson</b> was born in Melbourne in 1870. She was was sent to board at the Presbyterian Ladies College in 1883—an experience that provided material for her novel <i>The Getting of Wisdom</i>. She published her first novel, <i>Maurice Guest</i>, in 1908, followed by the trilogy that would become <i>The Fortunes of Richard Mahony</i>. Her final novel <i>The Young Cosima</i> appeared in 1939.</p> <p><b>Peter Craven</b> is one of Australia's best-known literary critics. He was a founding editor of <i>Scripsi</i>, <i>Quarterly Essay</i> and the <i>Best of</i> anthologies.<br> </p> <p>textclassics.com.au</p> <p>'More than any other novel in our literature, more than <i>Voss</i>, <i>The Fortunes of Richard Mahony</i> deserves the accolade of the Great Australian Novel…it is a mighty and moving work, this bursting at the seams anti-epic to the muse of a vanity which sees every golden bowl broken and every silver cord loosed.’ Peter Craven</p>
