Oceania, or the South Pacific, loomed large in the Victorian
popular imagination. It was a world that interested the Victorians
for many reasons, all of which suggested to them that everything
was possible there. This collection of essays focuses on Oceania's
impact on Victorian culture, most notably travel writing,
photography, international exhibitions, literature, and the world
of children. Each of these had significant impact. The literature
discussed affected mainly the middle and upper classes, while
exhibitions and photography reached down into the working classes,
as did missionary presentations. The experience of children was
central to the Pacific's effects, as youthful encounters at
exhibitions, chapel, home, or school formed lifelong impressions
and experience. It would be difficult to fully understand the
Victorians as they understood themselves without considering their
engagement with Oceania. While the contributions of India and
Africa to the nineteenth-century imagination have been
well-documented, examinations of the contributions of Oceania have
remained on the periphery of Victorian studies. Oceania and the
Victorian Imagination contributes significantly to our discussion
of the non-peripheral place of Oceania in Victorian culture.

1889. The son of Reverend John J. Fulton, Dr. Justin Fulton stood
for freedom and has the faith and courage of Elijah. This book was
written while Dr. Fulton was under the fiercest fire of criticism
from angry Romanists and cowardly Protestants. Every chapter was
written to meet the overwhelming emergencies of the day. The author
delights in telling the truth and is one of the most fearless men
found at that time. He was also one of the most tender and loving
of Christian leaders. A wonderfully written and concise book.
