First published in 1901, My Brilliant Career tells the story of Sybylla Melvyn, an imaginative, headstrong girl coming of age in the drought-stricken bush of 1890s rural Australia. When her family's fortunes begin to unravel, Sybylla's world narrows to grinding monotony and scarcity until a move to her grandmother's more comfortable property brings books, music, and a measure of refinement to her life, as well as the attention of Harold Beecham, a wealthy young landowner. But Sybylla is no conventional romantic heroine. Contemptuous of courtship and certain she would only make a husband miserable, she refuses to play the part expected of her-even as mounting debts and family obligation threaten to close every avenue of escape. What follows is a young woman's fierce struggle between the life others try to impose upon her and the one she is determined to write for herself. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
