Boyd (1893-1972) was a novelist and a member of Australia's best known family of artists. This biography recreates the Melbourne in which he grew up and traces his development as a writer during his expatriate years. Acidic paper. Available in North America from ISBS. Muhlenfeld traces the life (particularly the last 20 years) of South Carolina socialite and writer Chesnut (1823-1886), best-known today for her excellent firsthand account of life in the Confederate States of America, A Diary from Dixie (republished in 1981 as Mary Chesnut's Civil War).
