Inga Clendinnen was one of Australia' s greatest writers and thinkers. This selection covers the full scope of her writing, from Tiger' s Eye to Aztecs, from her Boyer Lectures to essays on all manner of topics. The rich array is introduced by acclaimed historian James Boyce, who traces Clendinnen' s life and evolving thought. Boyce writes that Clendinnen' s ' ability to write serious history for a general readership was unrivalled in this country . . . Her writings are an enduring testament to the truth that while we might "live within the narrow moving band of time we call the present . . . the secret engine of our present is our past, with its plastic memories, its malleable moralities, its wreathing dreams of desirable futures". '
James Boyce is the multi-award-winning author of Born Bad, 1835, Van Diemen' s Land and Losing Streak- How Tasmania Was Gamed by the Gambling Industry. He has a PhD from the University of Tasmania where he is an honorary research associate.
