Retrospect is a book written by Martin Boyd and originally published in 1920. It is a memoir that recounts the author's childhood and early adulthood in Australia, as well as his experiences living in England and traveling throughout Europe. The book is divided into three parts, with the first section focusing on Boyd's childhood in a wealthy and privileged family in Australia. The second section covers his time in England, where he attended school and university and became involved in the literary and artistic circles of the time. The final section of the book describes Boyd's travels throughout Europe, including his experiences during World War I. Throughout the book, Boyd reflects on his personal relationships, his struggles with identity and belonging, and the larger historical and cultural forces that shaped his life.
