AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Discusses the perception of a division in Australian society between those who followed the English model and pattern and those who adopted differing manners of indigenous white society. Suggests that Kingsley's view of Australia in Geoffry Hamlyn is "a longing for a plantation culture and a reflection of the division of Australia into two cultural groups: Creole and non-Creole" (270).
