Sinossi

In Days When the World Was Wide, and Other Verses, Henry Lawson presents a debut poetry collection published in 1896 that captures both the Australian landscape and its spirit. The volume includes works that have been widely anthologized, among them “The Free Selector’s Daughter” and “Andy's Gone with Cattle,” along with additional poems exploring the life and atmosphere of the plains. Lawson also draws on material connected to his well-known literary dispute with Banjo Paterson, including contributions associated with The Bulletin magazine. Across the collection, the local color is highlighted for its authenticity, giving voice to figures and experiences that otherwise remain unheard.
