From the supplier: Adventure novels by Australian George Lewis "Louis" Becke provide insight into late 19th-century Australian masculinity. Australia and much of the West experienced a severe economic depression, and Becke's tales of the South Seas provided welcome escape with their depiction of exciting life with abundant resources. 'By Reef and Palm,' a collection of Becke's stories, largely portrays what can now be seen as militant masculinism.
