摘要

乔治·班尼特,一位来自普利茅斯的年轻外科医生和一位雄心勃勃的自然科学家,在1829年至1831年的环球航行中收集了三件非凡的物品。这些东西是一只珍珠鹦鹉螺,班尼特庆祝它是该物种中第一个被活捉的;苏门答腊岛的长臂猿;还有一个来自埃罗曼加的六岁女孩,名叫埃劳。埃劳是第一个前往英国的瓦努阿图人。到1834年,班尼特的三个发现都死了,并被解剖,以促进英国科学的发展。他们三人还为中产阶级儿童文学的发展做出了贡献。儿童文学经常以集中的形式说明社会群体的各种政治项目和文化理解。作为一个道德故事,埃劳的故事是一个野蛮的教育和改革的故事,这是维多利亚时代之前的人关心的问题,他们担心自己的孩子和工人阶级的内在野蛮。

Sophia Elau, Ungka the gibbon, and the pearly nautilus
Abstract George Bennett, a young surgeon from Plymouth and an ambitious natural scientist, collected three remarkable items during a voyage around the world from 1829 to 1831. These items were a pearly nautilus, which Bennett celebrated as the first of its species to be taken alive; a gibbon from Sumatra; and a six‐year‐old girl from Erromanga named Elau. Elau was the first ni‐Vanuatu to travel to Britain. By 1834, all three of Bennett's finds were dead and dissected for the advancement of British science. The three also contributed to an evolving literature for middle class children. Children's literature often illustrates, in concentrated form, the various political projects and cultural understandings of social groups. As a moral tale, Elau's story was one of savage education and reform — issues of concern then to pre‐Victorians worried about the internal barbarity of their own children and also that of the working class.
