AbstractHistoryArchive Description
"An interesting and unusual story of a victim of heredity and early environment. The story tells of the pathetic pursuit of Deirdre after a happiness that seems to evade her at every turn. The background of the story is Australia and Melanesia." (Publisher's blurb Legion: For We Are Many 1928)
Notes

Epigraph: '...A child cries at the gate of birth
For terror of this world; yet shall she be the queen
Of all this world for beauty. Ushered by fear she comes,
And 'Dread' shall be her name. 'Deirdre' I name her now,
For dear shall Eri dree her beauty and her birth.'
- John Todhunter.
