Critics Review
‘His characters are wise, witty and relevant…[Boyd’s novel is] an indispensable glimpse into the social and political mores of upper-middle class Melburnians in the years leading up to World War I.’ * Chris Womersley *
Martin Boyd
Martin Boyd was born in Switzerland in 1893 of Anglo-Australian parents. At six months he was brought to Australia, where the Boyd family made impressive contributions to the artistic and intellectual life.
At the outbreak of the First World War, he travelled to England and joined an English regiment and later the Royal Flying Corps.
In 1948, at the height of his literary success, he returned to Australia to make a home near Berwick. He lived the last 15 years of his life in Rome (1957-1972). Most of his novels maintain an Anglo-Australian theme. Martin Boyd died in Rome in 1972.
