AbstractHistoryArchive Description

E. Morris Miller's Australian Literature From its Beginnings to 1935 (1940): 722 comments: 'Bluey Grey is a sporting story, associated with thieves and racing crooks; the localities range the world over, and include Melbourne during the Cup season; the Empire's downfall is predicted as a consequence of excessive indulgence in sport.'

Notes

  • Epigraph: A crowned caprice is god of this world, On his stony breast are his white wings furled; No ear to listen, no eye to see, No heart to feel for a man has he: But his pitiless arm is swift to smite, And his mute lips utter one word of might, 'Mid the clash of gentler souls and rougher, Wrong must thou do, or wrong must suffer. Then grant O dumb, blind god at least that we Rather the suffering than the doer be! Grant Allen.
