John Wren: a Life Reconsidered

Overview

This revisionist biography of Australian entrepreneur John Wren, who was made infamous by Frank Hardy's influential novel Power Without Glory , reexamines the historical evidence that wrongly vilified John Wren and made him the scapegoat of Australia's culture wars. By demonstrating Frank Hardy's earlier research to be fraudulent and motivated by personal agendas, Wren is revealed to be a generous benefactor to his class and family whose working class origins and illegal gambling pursuits barred his ascension to a position of high societal regard--a position he did not actively pursue.
