Lindsay – the eldest son of Australian artist Norman Lindsay – was an editor, novelist, poet, historian and long-standing member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. He formed part of the first wave of Australian intellectuals who settled permanently in the 'mother country', unnerved by the 'tyranny of distance' and the 'spiritual emptiness' of their birthplace.
