    The Pathless Country
    • The Pathless Country is the debut novel by the internationally recognised poet, James Harpur. Deftly weaving threads of political history with fin de siecle alternative thought, radicalism and spirituality, James vividly conjures a world of firebrands and mystics, a landscape where the only waymarks are those of the conscience and the spirit.

      The Pathless Country
    • James Harpur entered a boy's boarding school in the 1970s and survived to tell the tale. Powerful, poignant and humorous, the poems in The Examined Life re- create a 'vale of soul-making' that, with its tragedy and comedy, heroes and villains, is like a microcosm of life itself.
