Title: God's fool
Description: Francis Webb is one of Australia's unsung heroes, whose life, like that of Henry Lawson and Christopher Brennan, was a creative triumph over great personal difficulties and public indifference. Although supported by family and close friends, events led Web to find himself amongst the dowtrodden and outcast. Here, he found meaning through writing poetry of amazing religious vision and through reinterpreting Australian history as a quest for truth.
