The themes of survival, resilience, and the clash of cultures are prevalent throughout the book, offering a glimpse into the complex social dynamics of the time. Becke's use of local dialects and vernacular adds authenticity to his characters and settings, enhancing the reader's experience. Louis Becke, a former trader and blackbirder in the Pacific Islands, drew inspiration from his own experiences to write 'The Colonial Mortuary Bard.'
