[ED: Hardcover], [PU: Cambridge University Press], For thousands of young Australians the tearful dockside farewell was a rite of passage as they boarded ships bound for London. For some the journey was an extended holiday, but for many actors, painters, musicians, writers and journalists, leaving Australia seemed to be the only path to personal and professional fulfilment. This book is a collective biography of those people who found themselves categorised as expatriates - people such as Leo McKern, Dame Joan Sutherland, Barry Tuckwell, Don Banks, Phillip Knightley, John Pilger, Peter Porter, Richard Neville, Jill Neville and 'megastars' Barry Humphries, Germaine Greer and Clive James. The book tells of choices they made about career and country, yet it is also a cultural history that traces shifts in the complex relationship between Australia and Britain, as the supposed colonial backwater began to develop its own cultural identity. Table of contents: 1 Introduction - Going away 2 An Australian theatre or a career on stage? 3 Sydney or Fleet Street 4 Musical directions 5 Patterns of discovery: artists 6 Patterns of exploration: writers 7 Grander stages: New seasons for Australian playwrights and actors 8 Long and winding musical roads: the careers of Australian expatriates and Australian music 9 The yellow brick road to the land of OZ ... and beyond 10 Journalists' journeys 11 Crucible to firmament: Barry Humphries, Germaine Greer and Clive James and the Expatriate Search for Fame 12 Home and identity. Drawing on the experiences of people such as Dame Joan Sutherland, Barry Humphries and Clive James, this book explores the experience of being an expatriate in London in the creative and performing arts. It is also a cultural history that traces shifts in the relationship between Australia and Britain.
