Hope, Patrick Morgan, Elizabeth Perkins and Fay Zwicky. These papers were originally presented at a seminar by the Christopher Brennan Society at the University of Sydney in 1978. These essays aim to promote study of troubled academic Christopher Brennan (Associate Professor of German and comparative languages, University of Sydney).

Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2015. Paperback octavo, very good condition, colour & sepia (brown-tinted) photos, minor edgewear. 298 pp. The fascinating story by Lucy Sussex of the crime novel that became a global publishing phenomenon. Fergus Hume was a playwright when he moved from Dunedin to Melbourne in 1885. He wrote The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, and the book sold out its first run and became the biggest and fastest-selling detective novel of the 1800s, and Australia's first literary blockbuster. Hume unfortunately sold the copyright for 50 pounds, and missed out on a potential fortune. This well-researched book will interest anyone who likes Australian true crime, history and crime fiction.
