Marcus Clarke

The current display examines the life and work of Marcus Clarke, author of the classic Australian novel "For the Term of His Natural Life". It was prepared to coincide with the launch of "Cyril Hopkins' Marcus Clarke", edited by UQ Emeritus Professor Laurie Hergenhan with Ken Stewart and Michael Wilding. This book is based on a life of Marcus Clarke written by Cyril Hopkins, brother of the British poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, a hundred years ago and stored in manuscript in the Mitchell Library. Professor Hergenhan and his fellow editors prepared the manuscript for publication to bring the information it contains about the life of Marcus Clarke before a wider public.
