Lawson, Henry

    0.01 sec.

Lawson, Henry (1867–1922)

Australian short-story writer. First noted for verse about bush life and social and political protest, he is now remembered chiefly for his stories. Direct experience of travelling in the outback in a severe drought 1892 reinforced the grim realism of his vision of Australian rural life. His best work, represented by the collections While the Billy Boils 1896 and Joe Wilson and his Mates 1901, is sharply detailed, colloquial, and ironically understated.
