This is the first time in 130 years that the complete and unabridged text of this landmark colonial novel has been in print. - The Broad Arrow provides a rare female perspective on the convict experience in Van Diemen's Land. - Innovative page design subtly highlights differences between the 1859 and abridged 1886 editions while allowing readers to immerse themselves in the plot. A critical introduction by Jenna Mead considers the two editions in their cultural and historical contexts. - Features evocative etchings by Auguste Hervieu from the first 1859 edition
