Funded Activity Summary

A study of Australia's most popular internationally-known comedian, Barry Humphries. This project will offer a fully researched biographical study of Barry Humphries in the context of Australian cultural history from the 1950s to the present. The study will illuminate Australian literature, theatre and cultural politics, and the way it intersects with both British and American cultural history and the development of global entertainment culture since the 1960s. It will fill a gap in the understanding of Humphries' life and his immense contribution to the Australian psyche and to the global export of Australian cultural products in the post-imperial era.
