George Seith Coppin (1819-1906), known as 'father of the Australian Theatre', a 'low comedian', was also impresario, adventurer, politician and philanthropist. This biography is based mainly on material made available by the late Miss Lucy Coppin- her father's books, journals, biographical notes, press cut-tings, playbills, and Coppin's personal letters. From an early age he acted with his parents in a troupe of strolling players in England and the colour-and uncertainties-of this life are vividly described. At 16 he chose in-dependence and appearances in provincial England, London, and Ireland followed. In 1842, accompanied by an American actress, he migrated to Australia where, in tours of the separate colonies, George's acumen gave them starring roles and excellent receipts. As well as acting and managing, Coppin pro-moted such ventures as a zoo, roller skating, hot sea-water baths and a railway line. He was a devoted husband and parent and his philanthropic activities were legion. Twice elected to the Victorian Legislative Council, in 1858 and 1889, Coppin was also a member of the Legislative Assembly for nine years 1874 to 1889, with a break 1877-1883. He built six theatres, including one pre-fabricated in England. He made three for-tunes and lost two, restoring them through stage tours. He toured the Victorian gold-fields and New Zealand and, later, with Charles and Ellen Kean, America. This visit coincided with a presidential election and the assassination of President Lincoln.

In the mid-nineteenth century successive cultural Bohemias were proclaimed in Paris, London, New York, and Melbourne. Focusing on networks and borders as the central modes of analysis, this book charts for the first time Bohemia’s cross-Channel, transatlantic, and trans-Pacific migrations, locating its creative expressions and social practices within a global context of ideas and action. Though the story of Parisian Bohemia has been comprehensively told, much less is known of its Anglophone translations. The Bohemian Republic offers a radical reinterpretation of the phenomenon, as the neglected lives and works of British, Irish, American, and Australian Bohemians are reassessed, the transnational networks of Bohemia are rediscovered, the presence and influence of women in Bohemia is reclaimed, and Bohemia’s relationship with the marketplace is reconsidered. Bohemia emerges as a marginal network which exerted a paradoxically powerful influence on the development of popular culture, in the vanguard of material, social and aesthetic innovations in literature, art, journalism, and theatre. Underpinned by extensive and original archival research, the book repopulates the concept of Bohemianism with layers of the networked voices, expressions, ideas, people, places, and practices that made up its constituent social, imagined, and interpretive communities. The reader is brought closer than ever to the heart of Bohemia, a shadowy world inhabited by the rebels of the mid-nineteenth century.
