$14.94

Pageant (1933) is a novel by Australian author G. B. Lancaster (pen-name for Edith Joan Lyttleton). It won the ALS Gold Medal for Best Novel in 1933.

The setting is colonization period of Van Diemon\'s Land, and a tremendous canvas introduces the conflicting elements which go to make up the early days in the outposts of a far flung empire. Colorful, dramatic, swift-moving, with emphasis more on the background and incident and underlying currents than on individual characterization or fundamental plot. Madam Comyn and her granddaughter, Jenny, hold the center of the stage, but rather as types of a matriarchal system than as human beings.
