An engaging study of early colonial New Zealand

Subtitled A Study of Racial Tension and Social Attitudes 1839–1852, John Miller’s Early Victorian New Zealand examines a formative and turbulent period in the country’s colonial history.

The book looks particularly at the New Zealand Company and the colourful, controversial figure of Jerningham Wakefield. Thoroughly researched yet readable and engaging, it offers substantial history without feeling like a hard slog.
