The Revd Samuel Marsden (1765-1838) was an influential religious
figure in Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti. Educated at St John's
College, Cambridge, and having spent time in Australia as a
missionary to convicts and aborigines, from 1814 until his death he
worked as a missionary to the Maori in New Zealand. First published
in 1858, this biography, which uses Marsden's own letters and
memoirs by friends and colleagues to explore his life and work, was
edited by the historian J. B. Marsden (1803-70) who was not in fact
related to his subject. Vivid and anecdotal, the work reveals
Marsden's strong religious beliefs and his dedication to the
welfare of the war-torn native peoples, even though his activities
were not always popular. The editorial commentary sets Marsden's
work within a social and historical context, and the study
concludes with some appendixes documenting his lasting influence on
New Zealand and Tahiti.
