Verses Popular & Humorous
By Henry Lawson
Published by Angus And Robertson: Sydney 1900 1st Edition

"Verses Popular & Humorous (1900) gathers some of Henry Lawson's most beloved ballads and sketches of Australian life at the turn of the twentieth century. Written in his unmistakable blend of wit, compassion, and realism, these poems capture the hardships and camaraderie of bush life, the humour and melancholy of the working man, and the deep national sentiment emerging in a young Australia. Lawson's mastery of vernacular speech and his empathy for ordinary people give his verses enduring resonance, from humorous yarns to poignant reflections on loneliness and endurance.

Published by Angus and Robertson in Sydney, this first edition represents Lawson at the height of his literary powers and popularity. It reflects his ability to balance satire with sentiment and to find dignity in struggle—a voice that helped define the Australian identity in literature. This volume would appeal to collectors of Australian first editions, admirers of colonial poetry, and readers who value Lawson's authentic portrayal of bush life and the character of early Australia."
