About This Item
(Pietermaritzburg: University of Natal Press / Durban: Killie Campbell Africana Library, 1982) 0869802836. Killie Campbell Africana Library Reprint Series, Number 4. 8vo; original red rexine, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; pp. xlvi + (iv) + 252; frontis. portrait; illustrations; folding map. Dustwrapper a little sunned on spine panel; merest trace of foxing to endpapers. Very good condition. "The usefulness of this material extends beyond the interests of the student in missionary endeavour. For here there is vital information on the early history of the Zulu kingdom under Mpande. For the historian of ideas, fascinating light is cast on the interaction of intellectual currents emanating from England, and ideas and attitudes shaped in a colonial and a traditional context. In a sense Colenso operated simultaneously in three kinds of environment: as thinker in the intellectual world of England, as bishop in the colony of Natal, and as missionary confronting the traditional world of the Zulu." .
