AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The article features on the life and works of Australian expatriate author Frederic Manning who the author regards as famous for being forgotten. He wrote a fictionalised account of his war service, "The Middle Parts of Fortune" which the author describes as the most moving books ever written on the war. At 15 years old, he left Sydney for England and was raised into a scholar, writer, and young Victorian gentleman. Famous novelist T. S. Eliot called Manning as the one of the best prose writers of the time.
