Rendition Supposing Books Prelude To Christopher

I read this for a university course in my undergrad, and I'm so glad I did!

This book is very modernist, so if you like that style, you might really enjoy this. This book is an Australian classic, written by Eleanor Dark. (Isn't that a fantastic name?)

The writing itself is very interesting and not something I would usually find in a book, but I still remember some of the lines or passages really well. I liked the female characters in this book, particularly the main character's wife. (I'm terrible with names! Apologies.)

I thought this novel was really dark and brooding and atmospheric - one of the female characters was almost witch-like, really haunting and arresting. I like how complex and layered this book is, I feel like I could reread it and get a lot out of it.

(And just a quick trigger warning, this book contains self-harm themes, mental health themes and suicide.)

4 stars from me. c:

Assessment Based On Books Prelude To Christopher

I struggled to keep interested to start with but was racing to turn the pages as it went on to find out what happened in the end. interesting style of writing, not at all what I'm used to. made me think a lot more about what was being written and how the author was expressing it.

I'm not a fan of modernist writing, having failed to get through a single Patrick White or Virginia Woolf book, because I simply need a story to move ahead and not get bogged by details. I find it anti-imagination. Dark joins some excellent company with this beloved novel, but I could not get into it.

amazing book with shades of Gilman's Yellow wallpaper and Tennyson's Lady of Shallot. Disquieting and beautifully crafted

Eleanor Dark (1901-1985), author, was born on 26 August 1901 at Croydon, Sydney, second of three children of Sydney-born parents Dowell OReilly, schoolteacher and author, and his wife Eleanor Grace, née McCulloch, who died in 1914 after an unhappy marriage and a period of ill health.

If you like modernist writing and you haven't read this, run out and buy it now. The Australian public wasn't quite ready for Eleanor Dark's amazing novel when it was first published in 1932.

'Prelude to Christopher' is a superb Australian novel; it amazes me that it is so little known. Rich in psychological themes and characters, feminist before there was such a word and a fist-shake at conformity. I am now compelled to seek out more of Eleanor Dark's work.

A testament to the wretchedness of the entire philosophy of the Eugenicist.
