About This Item
Melbourne University Press, Carlton South Vic, Austria, 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Very Good. 500 g; VIII, 184 pages, last six pages blank, indexed, chapter notes, numerous articles reproduced along with line drawing illustrations. Coloured illustrated dust jacket. Slight grubby mark on the half title page, otherwise in very good order. This impartial biography of a passionate man and his works and manages to separate fact from the fantasies which Norton enjoyed weaving around his origins, motives and activities. The result is a succinct, compelling story of an extraordinary character he used radical journalism and politics to achieve personal goals, doing much good and some harm along the way. A "Norton anthology" gives entertaining examples of the type of journalism which made Norton idolized by large sections of the working class but hated and feared by most conventional people. This is not the whole voice of radicalism in Australia's earlier years. But it is an important, neglected and greatly misunderstood part of a history. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
