AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The 'Flaneur' directs his attention to contemporary issues of interest to the citizens of New South Wales. His subjects include the new poem 'Lucretius' by Alfred Tennyson (which the 'Flaneur' declares to be 'a satire of wonderful power'), the Bishop of Sydney's censure of all works of fiction, and the visit of Lord and Lady Belmore to the Albury region of the colony.
In his comments on fiction, in response to the Bishop of Sydney, the 'Flaneur' counters with a commendation of the works of Charles Dickens. He concludes his defence of fiction with the biblical quote, 'and he spake a parable unto them' [Luke 18.1].
