The notebooks of A. D. Hope are a portrait of the contradictory essence of one of Australia’s finest poet’s intellect and character. Seeking to find pathways through the maze of an intellectual life, this is a profound and timely contribution to Australia’s literary scholarship. Revealing the originality of his thinking and the astonishing range of his reading and interests, this edition is a testament to the intellect of one of Australia’s towering literary figures. Shot through with threads of self-awareness and revelation, Hope imbued his notebooks with irony and humour, forming them as a celebration of the joy and terror of human existence. The entries give witness to Hope’s view that art is a superior force in the creation of new being and values, and a guide for the conduct of our lives.
