Reviews

'Does Oceania and the Victorian Imagination meet the readers' expecta-tions? Indeed it does, offering a wealth of data, detailed information and cross-references that will aid further study. There is a select bibliography and a very useful, detailed index. This book will also encourage the reader to purchase and read more of the novels mentioned ... This book cannot be ignored for future discussions regard-ing the history of contact between Europeans and Pacific Islanders.' New Zealand and Pacific Studies
