1 14 y separately published work icon Cyril Hopkins' Marcus Clarke Cyril Manley Hopkins , Laurie Hergenhan (editor), Ken A. Stewart (editor), Michael Wilding (editor), North Melbourne : Australian Scholarly Publishing , 2009 Z1576148 2009 multi chapter work biography 'This biography of Marcus Clarke was written a century ago by Cyril Hopkins, brother of Gerald Manley Hopkins and a close friend of Clarke, and is published now for the first time. Drawing on memories of their schooldays together in Highgate and Clarke's letters from Australia, Hopkins gives a fascinating picture of the mercurial immigrant's ups and downs as he moves from banking to jackarooing, before emerging as a controversial journalist. Clarke's career as theatre critic, bon viveur, librarian and author of the classic novel His Natural Life is vividly and movingly captured, along with the bustling and variegated character of a colonial city, the outback mining towns and the remote unexplored bush.'

1 Biographical Notice of the Life & Work of Marcus Clarke : Preface Cyril Manley Hopkins , 2009 single work biography
— Appears in: Cyril Hopkins' Marcus Clarke 2009; (p. 3-7) 'For many years past it has been evident to me from the recurrent allusions to his personal characteristics and genius in the literary columns of the Australian press as well as from verbal communications and letters from friends that great interest still attaches in literary circles in Australia and perhaps elsewhere to the name of Marcus Clarke. No complete biography has yet been published of him; and I think I may claim to have read every memoir and obituary notice that has appeared since his premature death forty-three years ago. All such have this defect that they omit to a great extent the circumstances of his early life and the latter were unusual and of a nature to exercise a powerful influence upon one of his temperament and character.'
