.
He owned a See also:sheep run in the Upper Rangitata See also:district of the See also:province of See also:Canterbury, and in less than five years was able to return See also:home with a moderate competence, most of which was afterwards lost in unlucky investments
.
The Rangitata district supplied the setting for his See also:romance of Erewhon, or Over the Range (1872), satirizing the Darwinian theory and conventional See also:religion
.
Erewhon had a sequel See also:thirty years later (1901) in Erewhon Revisited, in which the narrator of the earlier romance, who had escaped from Erewhon in a See also:balloon, finds himself, on revisiting the See also:country after a considerable See also:interval, the See also:object of a topsy-turvy cult, to which he gave the name of " Sunchildism." In 1873 he had published a See also:book of similar tendency, The See also:Fair Haven, which purported to be a "See also:work in See also:defence of the miraculous See also:element in our See also:Lord's See also:ministry upon See also:earth " by a fictitious J

.
He learnt nearly the whole of the Iliad and the Odyssey by See also:heart, and translated both poems (1898 and 1900) into colloquial English See also:prose
