At times relying on seemingly implausible coincidences, the story follows the fortunes of Rufus Dawes, a young man transported for a murder that he did not commit. The book clearly conveys the harsh and inhumane treatment meted out to the convicts, some of whom were transported for relatively minor crimes, and graphically describes the conditions the convicts experienced. The novel was based on research by the author as well as a visit to the penal settlement of Port Arthur, Tasmania. Marcus Andrew Hislop Clarke FRSA (1846-1881), was an English born Australian novelist, journalist, poet, editor, librarian and playwright. In spite of the popular success of his novel, Clarke was constantly involved in financial difficulties, which are said to have hastened his death at Melbourne on 2nd August 1881 at the sadly early age of 35.
