From Kuling to Kerikeri: Reassessing Edward Selby Little's Trans-Pacific Legacy

Abstract 摘要

This paper re-examines Edward Selby Little's 1895 development of Kuling on Mount Lu through the lens of his under-studied final decade in Kerikeri, New Zealand, arguing that his retirement choices reveal continuities between his treaty-port entrepreneurialism and settler-colonial land practices rarely placed in dialogue in existing scholarship.

本文通过李德立此前鲜少被研究的新西兰凯里凯里晚年十年，重新审视其1895年开发庐山牯岭的历史，认为其归隐选择揭示出他在通商口岸的企业家实践与殖民定居者土地实践之间的延续性——这一关联在既有学术研究中鲜少被放在一起讨论。

Methodology 研究方法

Drawing on parish records from Kerikeri's St James Church, Little's own 1899 memoir The Story of Kuling, and Historical Photographs of China (University of Bristol) archival material.

依据凯里凯里圣詹姆斯教堂的堂区记录、李德立本人1899年所著回忆录《牯岭的故事》，以及布里斯托大学"中国历史照片"档案馆的馆藏材料展开研究。
