This book is the first study of writers who are both Victorian and
indigenous, who have been educated in and write in terms of
Victorian literary conventions, but whose indigenous affiliation is
part of their literary personae and subject matter. What happens
when the colonised, indigenous, or 'native' subject learns to write
in the literary language of empire? If the romanticised subject of
colonial literature becomes the author, is a new kind of writing
produced, or does the native author conform to the models of the
coloniser? By investigating the ways that nineteenth-century
concerns are adopted, accommodated, rewritten, challenged,
re-inscribed, confronted, or assimilated in the work of these
authors, this study presents a novel examination of the nature of
colonial literary production and indigenous authorship, as well as
suggesting to the discipline of colonial and postcolonial studies a
perhaps unsettling perspective with which to look at the larger
patterns of Victorian cultural and literary formation.
