This study treats the Victorian Antipodes as a compelling site of romance and satire for middle-class writers who went to New Zealand between 1840 and 1872. Blythe’s research fits with the rising study of settler colonialism and highlights the intersection of late-Victorian ideas and post-colonial theories.
