Items related to Give Your Thoughts Life: William Colenso's Letters...
The provincial newspaper columns were the "public spheres" of their time, places for geographically separated individuals to contribute opinions to the debates of an immature democracy. But equally they were the vehicles for the passionately held views of bigots egged on by unscrupulous editors eager for exciting copy. These letters from Colenso, and their replies, show colonial politics to be argumentative, fervent and nasty – and the rants of opinionated, self-styled experts are thrilling in their vehemence.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. No signatures.; 497pages. Page dimensions: 230 x 154mm. "In his more than 200 letters to editors, Colenso wrote mostly for local Hawke's Bay readers. But he was a national celebrity for his opinions, as the clippings from papers outside the Bay scattered through this collection and his widely published obituary notices demonstrate. One correspondent to the Wanganui Herald in January 1882, similarly sympathetic to the plight of Maori, tellingly signed himself, 'COLENSO'S GHOST.' The letters reproduced in this book are all that can be found at present. As well, some other newspaper items have been included if they threw light on the more obscure letters." Table of Contents: Introduction; Letters 1847-1859; Letters 1860-1869; Letters 1870-1879; Letters 1880-1889; Letters 1890-1898; The Final Chapter; Index of Letters. Seller Inventory # 18209
