Carlton Dawe
William Carlton Lanyon Dawe, generally known as Carlton Dawe (30 July 1865 – 30 May 1935), was a prolific Australian author of over 70 books including romance, mystery and crime. Biography William was born in Moonta, South Australia in 1865 to Henry Dawe and Francis Lanyon. Dawe was born in Adelaide and came from an old Cornish family. He grew up with his sister, Gwendoline Lanyon Dawe. Dawe came to Melbourne with his parents around 1880. In 1885, he published in ''Sydonia and other Poems'' in London, beginning a trend of publishing novels in both this city and his local Melbourne. In 1886 ''Love and the World and other Poems'' was published in Melbourne. As these poems were possibly considered no more than average quality, they did not suggest any particular promise. These two volumes of poetry gave rise to Dawe's writing career. In the same year in Melbourne, Dawe published his first attempt at fiction, a novel entitled ''Zantha.'' Four years later, another volume of poetr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
