Nineteenth-Century Travel Writing
John Frederick Mortlock (1809-1882) was a military officer in England. Mortlock was sentenced to 21 years transportation in 1843, and spent time in Norfolk Island and Van Diemen’s Land. In 1857 he returned to England without permission, and following year was sentenced to re-transportation to Western Australia to serve the remainder of his sentence. Written retrospectively, Mortlock described daily convict life and Tasmania as hell. Mortlock detailed his journeys following his pardon, which included journeys to the gold fields in New South Wales and Victoria, and a second exile in Western Australia. Written as a conversational narrative, the work was self-reflexive, with Mortlock describing his efforts of getting his story published.
