A richly detailed work of Australian cultural and social history, Laughter and the Love of Friends chronicles the centenary of the Melbourne Savage Club from its founding in 1894 through to 1994, while also documenting the history of the earlier Yorick Club from 1868 to 1966. Joseph Johnson presents a vivid account of Melbourne's most celebrated bohemian gentlemen's clubs, tracing the artists, writers, performers, and public figures who gathered within their walls to celebrate camaraderie, creativity, and wit. The narrative illustrates how these institutions shaped the cultural life of Melbourne and, more broadly, contributed to the development of Australian arts and society over more than a century. Written with warmth and authority, this centenary volume stands as an essential record for anyone interested in the rich social and artistic heritage of colonial and post-colonial Melbourne.
