AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Waten had been writing and planning a sequence of memoirs based on his experiences in the 1930s, as well as a large-scale novel on the life and times of a communist and writer of his own generation in Australia .... The latter produced Scenes of Revolutionary Life which works virtually as a memoir too, for the bulk of it recounts the elderly protagonist's youthful political and literary adventures during the 1920s-1930s. (David Carter, 'Introduction', Judah Waten : Fiction, Memoir, Criticism (1998): xxix).

Notes
