Harris was conviced he had stumbled on the work of a young genius, a modernist in the T.S. Eliot tradition of whom Australia could be proud. Malley's manuscript was published and despatched world-wide, but the consequences were to haunt Harris and the Australian literary world for generations to come. This is the compelling account of this extraordinary story.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569851212049,"sku":"GOR008821458","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51188709523729,"sku":"GOR011565486","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51361511670033,"sku":"GOR012535269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571171540.jpg?v=1750879820"},{"product_id":"ern-malley-affair-book-michael-heyward-9780571167814","title":"The Ern Malley Affair","description":"In October 1943, the young Australian literary editor, Max Harris, received a package of poems by a recently deceased Australian poet, Ern Malley, forwarded by Ern's sister Ethel. Harris was convinced that he had stumbled on a work of genius. He published the poems in his own magazine \"Angry Penguins\". But it was all a hoax, the Ern Malley poems were the work of two young Australian poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, who had composed the poems in the course of a single afternoon while on duty at their barracks in Melbourne. The consequences of this action were to haunt all the participants for the rest of their lives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49657254641937,"sku":"GOR005646661","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50331701313809,"sku":"GOR003556657","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571167810.jpg?v=1751198611"},{"product_id":"ern-malley-affair-book-michael-heyward-9780571221219","title":"The Ern Malley Affair","description":"In October 1943, the young and successful Australian literary editor, Max Harris, received a package of poems by a recently deceased poet, Ern Malley, forwarded to him by his sister Ethel.  Convinced he had hit upon the work of a Modernist genius, a poet of whom Australia could be proud, Harris published Malley's poems in his magazine, Angry Penguins. With copies despatched around the world and grand claims surrounding publication, Harris had no idea of the events that lay in store; the consequences of which would haunt the literary landscape for generations.  Michael Heyward's compelling account of perhaps the most famous literary hoax of the twentieth century reproduces in their entirety, the seventeen poems published as 'The Darkening Ecliptic' in the magazine, Angry Penguins.  'As Michael Heyward explains in his exceptional book . . . the Ern Malley affair dramatises, more luridly than any other literary episode, the question which is in the minds of the audience of any work of modern art; the question of whether what they're being invited to admire is, in fact, in some sense, fake.' John Lanchester, Guardian  'A thoroughly researched narrative of the whole saga . . . tells the story very well indeed, with wit and style.'

This publication presents a selection of images, compiled by the artist, that range from sublime landscapes and nudes to classical sculpture shown in museum settings, all heightened by the velvet-like blackness of the shadows and the striking use of chiaroscuro to selectively obscure and reveal form. Henson's nudes portray his subjects as self-contained, focused on internal reveries; his landscapes are photographed at twilight, underscoring the transitional mood of the moment; and his museum images juxtapose graceful marble statues against the transfixed visitors observing them. Beautiful, enigmatic and unforgettable, Henson's images enliven our own sense of being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522137284881,"sku":"NLS9781925432367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781925432367.jpg?v=1778457071"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-heyward.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
