Serialised in 1909-10, The Poison of Polygamy is a rare gem of Australian literature.The first novel of the Chinese Australian experience, it is a roller-coaster tale of blackmail, murder, betrayal and even thylacine attack, partly based on real people, places and events. Revealing the human face of mi…gration between imperial China and colonial Australia, it recounts the story of a man from southern China who tries his luck on the Victorian goldfields, the wife he leaves behind, and their eventual fraught reunion.In this bilingual parallel edition, Australia's and possibly the West's earliest Chinese-language novel is presented in English translation for the first time. Illuminating introductions explore the work's historical, cultural and linguistic context, and establish its unique significance in Australia's literary and social history."A shiny little nugget has been disinterred from the tailings of our literary past . The Poison of Polygamy is an exciting addition to our literary history that deserves to be widely discussed and analysed in both China and Australia." David Walker, Emeritus Professor, Deakin University and author of Anxious Nation"The discovery of The Poison of Polygamy and its publication in this highly informative bilingual edition is a double happiness. It gives readers a highly entertaining new novel, replete with drama, emotion and intrigue. At the same time it documents Chinese Australian life in a key period of history."
