Abstract

Noel Norman's novels have attracted some critical attention, but little is known about his much longer career as a story writer for popular magazines in England and the United States of America. Writing as ‘Louis Kaye’, Norman's stories appeared in some of the most popular magazines of the 1930s and 1940s, including Strand Magazine, Blue Book, Collier's Weekly and the Saturday Evening Post. This article reconsiders Norman's career as a ‘magazinist’ by tracing the movement of his stories from Lindisfarne to London and New York before their return to Australia as syndicated fiction or on the pages of imported magazines. The trans-national networks of print culture that emerge suggest the need to look beyond the national boundaries of Australian literary history in order to better understand how Australian writers and readers saw themselves as individuals, members of nations and citizens of the world.
