Description
One of the most celebrated and prolific authors of the Victorian era, Anthony Trollope (1815–82) was also an enthusiastic traveller.
This two-volume work recounts his two-year journey across Britain's colonies in the Antipodes.
First published in 1873, it celebrates the success of British colonisation, but also considers with pragmatic foresight the inevitable unification of the Australian territories and their desire for greater independence.
In Volume 2, Trollope describes his travels through Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia and New Zealand.
He supplements his travelogue with maps and a section on Australian institutions.
He also tells of his unsuccessful foray into kangaroo hunting, showcasing his wit and appetite for adventure.
North America (1862), Trollope's account of the continent during the American Civil War, and his An Autobiography (1883) are also reissued in this series.
