AbstractHistoryArchive Description
An early imaginary exploration of the 'dangers' of European-Aboriginal relationships, the 'Dreadful History of Anaboo' was written in London by a hack writer with no experience of Aboriginal culture, and the story thus conforms to generalised European notions of 'savage' society. The heroine Anaboo, moreover, is a stock tragic figure, whose love for a white man drives her to commit suicide.
