Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Amazing Career of Edward Gibbon Wakefield' offers a comprehensive examination of one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of the British Empire. Written by historian A.J. Harrop, this work explores the life and theories of Wakefield, whose innovative ideas on systematic colonization fundamentally shaped the development of modern Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Canada.Central to this volume is the inclusion of significant extracts from Wakefield's seminal 1829 work, 'A Letter From Sydney'. Despite being written while Wakefield was imprisoned in Newgate, this text proposed a radical new approach to land sales and labor that aimed to create self-sustaining colonies rather than mere penal settlements. Harrop's narrative delves into Wakefield's personal tribulations, his political maneuvering, and his tireless advocacy for colonial reform.This book is an essential resource for readers interested in the 19th-century British colonial project, the socioeconomic theories of the Victorian era, and the foundational history of the Commonwealth nations.
