The Wakefields were a family of adventurers with a vision of empire which was to color the thinking of the Victorian age. This study describes in detail their attempt to impose an early Victorian pattern on one corner of Polynesia and the tensions that resulted therefrom. It shows the early Victorian mind adapting itself to the shocks of a new and varied environment and the response of the Polynesians to the challenge of an unexpected invasion, including that of European diseases which threatened to destroy them.

Early Victorian New Zealand
I want to mention that this book is not a mere narrative history of the early exchanges between Maori and Europeans (namely the British although the Dutch do fit in a bit), but is instead better read as a study of European and Maori forms of knowledge. Europeans and Maori had very different ways of seeing the world and, to make cultural contact meaningful, they had to reconcile these with one another. If read with this in mind, the book essentially becomes a work of art.
