Description
The Enigmatic Mr Deakin by Judith Brett explores the life of Alfred Deakin—scholar, spiritualist, prime minister—who played a crucial role in the formation of modern Australia. In this first biography of Deakin in over fifty years, acclaimed political historian Judith Brett skillfully intertwines his public, private, and family lives.
Brett uncovers the character behind the image of a dignified, bearded father of federation. She reveals a principled and passionate individual, both gifted and eccentric, whose enduring legacy continues to influence the nation's political landscape.
