This doctoral thesis is a biography of
the former state and federal labor politician and high court judge, Dr H.V. Evatt.
It is a study of the character of this figure which has been developed from
drawing on early (and later) private life, education and adult pursuits. An understanding
of character has informed the motivation and directions of career to clarify,
for instance, the nature of legal and political outlooks and the roles of
personal issues such as the desire for acclaim and power. </p>
