His Natural LifeUniversity of Queensland Press, 2001 - 686 páginas Critical edition of a classic Australian convict novel, first published in the 1870s. It restores the original version, as revised by Clarke for the first book edition, published in 1874.

There are accompanying essays on the historical basis of the novel by Michael Roe and its adaptation to stage and screen by Elizabeth Webby. Also includes textual notes, explanatory notes and maps. Published simultaneously in hardcover and paperback. Clarke (1846-81) made his name as a journalist before joining the staff of the Public Library of Victoria, serving first as secretary to the trustees, then as sub-librarian. His other novels include 'Long Odds', serialised in the Colonial Monthly (1868-69) and published in book form in 1869.
