Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book examines the flight of young Australian writers to London
in the decades before and after Federation in 1901. Peter Morton
studies how their careers were shaped by shifting their country of
residence, the expatriate experience, and how the loss of these
expatriates affected the evolving literary culture of Australia.
This book is a critical biography of Grant Allen, (1848-1899), the
first for a century, based on all the surviving primary sources.
Born in Kingston, Ontario, into a cultured and affluent family,
Allen was educated in France and England. A mysterious marriage
while he was an Oxford undergraduate wrecked his academic career
and radicalized his views on sexual and marital questions, as did a
three-year teaching stint in Jamaica. Despite his lifelong ill
health and short life, Allen was a writer of extraordinary
productivity and range. About half - more than 30 books and many
hundreds of articles - reflects interests which ran from Darwinian
biology to cultural travel guides. His prosperity, however, was
underpinned by fiction; more than 30 novels, including The Woman
Who Did , which has attracted much recent attention from feminist
critics and historians. The Better End of Grub Street uses Allen's
career to examine the role and status of the freelance
author/journalist in the late-Victorian period. Allen's career
delineates what it took to succeed in this notoriously tough
profession.
