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 and the process of his later apotheosis. 'He wrote
imperfectly in Australia those poems that in England he might have
made perfect.'-Oscar Wilde
