Autorenporträt
George Barrington (1755-1804) was a notorious Irish pickpocket who turned into a convict author noted for his remarkable journey from crime to literature. Born in Maynooth, he earned infamy for his deft thievery in England, which eventually led to his transportation to Australia as a punishment for his crimes. Barrington's transformation in New South Wales saw both rehabilitation and contribution to early Australian society. His significant literary work, 'A Voyage to Botany Bay' (1795), is a detailed account of his experiences and observations, commencing from his trial to his ultimate arrival and life in the penal colony of Australia. The narrative is not just an adventure in the author's life but also offers an early perspective on the emerging Australian environment, colonial practices, and the convicts' life. It reflects Barrington's literary style, which is characterized by a mix of personal introspection and broader societal commentary. His writings granted him a unique place in literary history as a convict who managed to capture a pivotal moment in the colonial narrative of Australia. His work has remained not only a source of rich historical insight but also a telling reflection of the potential for personal reform and literary expression under the harshest of conditions.
