Plagiarism and Presentation of Self in Elizabeth Spurrell's Journal of Her Voyage to New South Wales 1815-16
2003
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , no. 76 2003; (p. 77-85, notes 236-238) The article examines the travelogue of an early British woman traveller to the colony of New South Wales, 'A Journal of a Voyage to Calcutta, Java and etc during the year 1815 & 1816, by a Lady' (Mitchell Library, B563), and finds that the author plagiarised from David Collins' authoritative record of the settlement, An Account of the English Colony at New South Wales (1798). It discusses the self-representation of the writer, 'a Lady', and the parallels that can be drawn between her self-portrait (which obviously tries to obfuscate Spurrell's true social situation) and her act of plagiarism. -
