The Wentworths: Father and Son

A landmark dual biography of D'Arcy and William Charles Wentworth—two men whose ambitions, controversies, and achievements shaped early New South Wales.

Ritchie's deeply researched narrative follows D'Arcy's rise from scandal-shadowed Irish surgeon to the colony's wealthiest landowner, and William's transformation into explorer, barrister, journalist, and political agitator. A foundational work for understanding colonial society, emancipist politics, and the making of modern Australia.
