Summary
Annotation Miles Franklin wrote My Brilliant Career as a romance to entertain her friends. It depicts the poor, intelligent Sybylla who cannot accustom herself to her family's reduced circumstances. She is given a reprieve and sent to her Grandmother's grand house, where she mingles with the best rural society, including the handsome Harry Beecham. She is faced with the choice of material improvement through marriage, or personal improvement through working for her dreams.

Formatted Contents Note
Introduction
I remember, I remember
An introduction to Possum Gully
A lifeless life
A career which soon careered to an end
Disjointed sketches and grumbles
Revolt
Was e'er a rose without its thorn?
Possum Gully left behind hurrah! Hurrah!
Aunt Helen's recipe
Everard Grey
Yah!
One grand passion
He
Principally letters
When the heart is young
When fortune smiles
Idylls of youth
As short as I wish had been the majority of sermons to which I have been forced to give ear
The 9th of November 1896
Same yarn- continued
My unladylike behaviour again
Sweet seventeen
Ah, for one hour of burning love, 'tis worth an age of cold respect!
Thou knowest not what a day may bring forth
Because?
Boast not thyself of tomorrow
My journey
To life
To life- continued
Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise
Mr M'swat and I have a bust-up
Ta-ta to Barney's Gap
Back at Possum Gully
But absent friends are soon forgot
The 3rd of December 1898
Once upon a time, when the days were long and hot
He that despiseth little things, shall fall little by little
A tale that is told and a day that is done.
