F.M. Alexander gave his name to the Alexander Technique, described as "an effective way of physical and mental re-education". In this biography, he emerges as a complex figure. Born in Tasmania, he drew on the cultural legacy of a brutalizing convict society for many of his ideas. The book reveals just how much his technique was influenced by Victorian notions of religion, improvement and the predominant science of the race culture. It also charts his close association with John Dewey, George, George Bernard Shaw and Aldous Huxley.
