Description

Australia's convict past is never far away in Tasmania, where elegant stone bridges, the Georgian warehouses of Salamanca Place and the eerie ruins of Port Arthur are testimony to the back-breaking work and the hard lives endured by those sentenced to transportation. 'Quintus Servinton' is another reminder of those cruel days. Subtitled 'a tale, founded on incidents of real occurrence,' the book is a loosely autobiographical story of a wayward fifth son, like Savery. 'Quintus Servinton' (1830) is credited as being the first Australian novel, which, despite its dubious literary merit, gives it unique status.
