    • Abstract:
      An essay on the play "An Hawaiian Idyll" by Alice Dunbar-Nelson is presented. The author examines the critique of Dunbar-Nelson of Christianity and the portrayal of whites' negative influence on Hawaiian culture. He offers the varied sources of inspiration that give the play its hybrid style and analyzes the historical accuracy of the play, wherein he refers it as more fable than history play.
