Opis

Offers a window into the fantasies and realities of colonial life by presenting separate sets of letters by two late 19th-century British colonists of the South Pacific: Vernon Lee Walker and Louis Becke. This work frames the letters - addressed to the colonists' mothers - with commentary that explores colonial degeneration in the South Pacific.
