Autorenporträt

Richard Ernest Nowell Twopeny (1857-1915) was an English-born Australian who made significant contributions to the literature on Australian urban life in the late 19th century. His most notable work, 'Town Life in Australia' (1883), provides a detailed chronicle of the social, economic, and cultural aspects of urban centers in Australia during this era. Twopeny's writing is characterized by its meticulous observations, engaging narrative, and an anthropologist's interest in the nuances of everyday life. He spent considerable time in various Australian cities, including Adelaide, where his work led to an appointment as the registrar of the University of Adelaide. Twopeny's 'Town Life in Australia' remains an important resource for historians and scholars interested in the development of Australian society and serves as a testament to his dedication to capturing the essence of Australian urban life. His scholarly style combines a keen eye for detail with a narrative approach that brings the late 19th-century Australian cityscapes to life. Although his literary output was not prolific, the lasting value of Twopeny's work lies in its vivid portrayal of the complexities and vibrancy of Australian city living at a time when the nation was undergoing rapid transformation and growth.
