John Shaw Neilson (1872-1942) is Australia's great lyric poet. A new introduction by Dr Helen Hewson explores some of the influences which have shaped Neilson's poetry.
Neilson (1872-1942) was the son of a small settler and contract labourer in Western Victoria, and led the same kind of life as his father, helping his family work a number of disastrous selections and adding to their income by seasonal jobs at fencing, fruit picking, quarrying and woodcutting. His mother and two of his sisters died young, and he and his brothers suffered from chronic ailments attributable to poor diet and constant anxiety.
John Shaw Neilson received only a basic education, yet became one of Australia's best poets. He was born at Penola, South Australia on 22 February 1872. Raised by a family of poor labourers, Neilson worked as a farm hand.
