Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Wright, Judith. The generations of men / illustrated by Alison Forbes. Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1979 reprint. Paperback, VG. Covers sunned to spine and edges. Binding strong and tight. Frontispiece b/w illustration. vii, 233pp., b/w illustrations. Contents clean and bright. Judith Arundell Wright (31 May 1915 25 June 2000) was an Australian poet, environmentalist and campaigner for Aboriginal land rights. 'The Generations of Men' is the pioneering story of her ancestors. The names, dates and events are factual and are based on diaries, letters and personal reminiscences. Wright has taken this factual material and with her poet's imagination turned it into a reconstruction of a past era; people, places and even moods. This is a beautifully written family history that documents not only the settling of Wright's own family into New South Wales' last century, but also the life of a nation, as Australia was colonized by 'generations of men' unsuited in many ways to the historical and geographical context of their new environment.
