  Literary Encyclopedia: Marcus Clarke   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Marcus Clarke was born in London on the 24th of April 1846.
Clarke's mother died when he was young, and as he grew towards adulthood he evidently had expected a reasonable inheritance from his father, a London barrister.
Clarke was greatly influenced by current European writers: he admired the journalism of Mayhew and Sala, the novels of Dickens and Balzac, and the literary exponents of the Romantic grotesque such as Poe, Hoffmann, and Hugo.

 Marcus Clarke's Bohemia
Marcus Clarke's Bohemia is available as both an e-book (downloadable PDF files) or a d-book (print-on-demand).
Clarke’s self-construction as an urban, Bohemian writer and his corresponding evocation of the colonial city as a European-style metropolis might have consolidated a readership that saw itself as comfortably removed from the violent exigencies of settler-colonialism.
The conclusion to Marcus Clarke’s Bohemia explores Clarke’s impatience with the images that had hitherto defined his output, and suggests that his rejection of the idea of Bohemia indicates a critique of his attempt to fashion a literature responsive to and reflective of the dislocated experiences of colonialism and commodity-capitalism.

A year ago, Clarke and her boyfriend were wakened early one April morning in their West 8th Avenue home by flames and smoke from a chimney fire that had spread so quickly, they had to jump from the attic window, cat in hand, to escape.
Clarke said the neighbour called the shelter and explained the story, then rode over on his bicycle-he doesn't own a car-armed with the photos.
Clarke was so grateful to have her cat back, she took the helpful neighbour out for lunch, forced a reward on him and made a $500 donation to the West Vancouver SPCA.

Clarke's self-conscious bohemianism highlighted the increasingly commercialised nature of nineteenth-century writing, the centrality of mass entertainment to urban life, the circulation of cultural capital between Europe and Australia, and the emergence of Australian literary nationalism in a larger imperial context.
The recent selection of my 1996 essay, "Marcus Clarke and the Society of the Spectacle; Reflections on Commodity-Capitalism in Nineteenth-Century Melbourne," for inclusion in a reader of Australian literary criticism (forthcoming, University of Queensland Press) indicates a recognition of the importance of this work.
Because my work on Clarke seeks to revise the assumptions of critical and cultural theory in the light of the hitherto under-studied adaptation of metropolitan sensibilities in a colonial context, publishing work on colonial Australia in such an important international forum will maximise its influence on the field of literary studies more generally conceived.
