Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Judith Wright (19152000) remains a giant figure within Australian art, culture and politics. Her 1946 collection of poetry, The Moving Image, revolutionised Australian poetry. She helped to establish the modern Australian environmental movement and was a key player in early campaigns for Aboriginal land rights. A friend and confidante of artists, writers, scholars, activists and policy makers she remains an inspiration to many. And yet, as Georgina Arnott is able to show in this major new work, the biographical picture we have had of this renowned poet-activist has been very much a partial one. This book presents a more human figure than we have previously seen, and concentrates on Wright's younger years. New material allows us to hear, directly, thrillingly, the feisty voice of a young Judith Wright and forces us to reconsider the woman we thought we knew. Judith Wright (19152000) remains a giant figure within Australian art, culture and politics. Her 1946 collection of poetry, The Moving Image Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

It reveals a way of thinking about Australia - its land, history and culture - that draws on the best of human possibility.Also in the series-Inga Clendinnen (ed. James Boyce)Donald Horne (ed.
