Buy books by Henry Lawson
Australian writer and poet who is among the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial period, and is often called Australia's "greatest writer".
Much of Lawson's work was set in the Australian bush, or was about bush life. Although most Australians lived in cities and towns in the 19th century, it was the bush that somehow grabbed the imagination - perhaps because of the stark contrast between it and the more gentle and controlled environment of Europe, from where most non-indigenous Australians had come.
