Reading Robinson - Companion essays to George Robinson's Friendly Mission

A collection of essays by Australian and international historians examining George Augustus Robinson's Friendly Mission — the journals Robinson kept during his time among the Aboriginal peoples of Van Diemen's Land from 1829 to 1834, edited by N.J.B. Plomley and republished in a second edition in 2008.

The essays place Robinson's journals in a wider context — looking at how colonial accounts of this kind circulated beyond their immediate setting, and how historians inside and outside Tasmania have read and interpreted Robinson's record of the frontier period. A useful companion to either edition of Friendly Mission, and a good entry point for those approaching the Robinson journals for the first time.
