Scottish aristocrat, rebellious youth, expert horseman, club-man, MP and poet - beneath the image of rake and hell-raiser, Adam Lindsay Gordon remained a conservative, frustrated with his failure to achieve the success he had expected from life. He finished his passionate life as dramatically as he had lived it, in a mixture of glory and outrage. A flawed hero, he was acclaimed as Australia's National Poet in 1933.
Geoffrey Hutton examines this tragic and romantic character as a man, and a poet against his culture and his times.
