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.
