Chester Francis Cobb

Mr. Moffatt, written by Chester Francis Cobb, is recognized as Australia's first modernist novel, published in England. The story follows Mr. Moffatt, a chemist in suburban Sydney, who believes a painting he received as collateral for a debt may be a masterpiece. His journey to England for its valuation leads to profound changes in his life, challenging his beliefs and perceptions. Notable for its psychological depth and use of stream-of-consciousness narrative, the novel reflects early modernist themes.
