Description
The Young Desire It
by Kenneth ‘Seaforth’ Mackenzie.
Angus & Robertson, Sydney, 1987.
Reprint, paperback (first published 1937).
‘The Young Desire It is one of the most brilliant, confident and unusual instances of a Bildungsroman in Australian literature. Nor was it a flash of genius soon extinguished. Scores of poems and three more novels followed, besides extensive unpublished fiction. But how has Mackenzie fared in Australian literary history – noting his unconscionable omission from The Cambridge History of Australian Literature (2009)?’
– Peter Pierce, Sydney Review of Books, 27 August 2013.
Condition: Very good. No obvious markings or wear.
