About This Item
Australia [Melbourne?]: no publisher shown, perhaps author-issued, 1951. Paperback. 669p., a fat little softbound in 7x5 inch yapp-edged wraps decorated with a Dyson print; the yapp or "clerical" overlap is tattered with wear, the covers generally toned and dust-soiled. Instead of a titlepage, the introductory leaf is printed as "Part One 1890-1907" and includes a quotation by Charles Kingsley re class warfare. Body of text (i.e., 1-669) is terminated with a 3-page Author's Note explaining the two novel-parts he has scheduled to complete this fictional analysis of Aussie labor history. The major flaw to text occurs on the introductory leaf: a previous owner inscribed his (or her) name below the Kingsley quote, and dated it (July 1952), then violently erased the penned name, causing a hole quite through the leaf. As is; item is legible throughout. Proletarian novel by the Australian communist.
