内容説明
A biography of Martin Boyd, the Anglo-Australian novelist and a member of Australia's best-known family of artists. Martin Boyd was one of the generation whose lives were changed by World War I. He served in a British regiment, survived the trenches in 1916-17 and joined the Royal Flying Corps. The pacifist beliefs which emerged from that war experience are central to his fiction, as they were to his life. Boyd's was a complex personality: witty, generous, sociable, yet deeply reserved. He looked for his "home of the spirit" in many places: an Anglican monastery, London's West End clubland, a Cambridge village, an old family house in Harkaway, Victoria, and among English expatriates in Rome. In this study of the man and his work, Brenda Niall re-creates the Melbourne in which Boyd grew up, just before World War I, and traces his development as a writer during his restless expatriate years.
