Thos. E. Spencer

4.9/5 (11713 ratings)

Description:Thomas Edward Spencer, who died in Sydney in 1911 at the age of 66, built a large following as a writer of popular verse in the first decade of this century. How M'Dougall Topped the Score remains his best read work. But he left many other verses that appear frequently in anthologies and collections of verse. Spencer was respected for his impartiality. Born in London in 1845, he visited Australia at the age of 18 and returned at the age of 30 to become a successful builder and contractor. His important works included Goulburn jail and the Sydney University Physics Laboratory. He served with distinction on the NSW Arbitration Court bench and later as chairman of many wages boards. He became a prominent contributor of light verse and prose to The Bulletin, in the halcyon days of that journal. How M'Dougall Topped the Score was his first collection of verse, which he followed with five others. In a nation of cricket-lovers the improbable story of M'Dougall's match winning effort somehow captured the rich pleasure a great many people have had from cricket under coarse conditions when the spirit of the players triumphantly overcame the rough-hewn amenities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
