This study treats the Victorian Antipodes as a compelling,
fantastical, and utopian site of romance and subsequent satire for
five middle-class writers who went to New Zealand between 1840 and
1872. Examining their dreams and experiences and the writing
produced from their travels, chapters illuminate how contact with
England's opposite and mirror produced literary studies of motion,
distance, inversion, primitivism, and travels in time and space,
foregrounding the empire's instrumental shaping of literary form,
challenging realism with romance and gesturing towards science
fiction and modernism.
