Book description

The nineteenth century saw the British Empire at its height. With it came a rapidly expanding English-speaking world and a growing literature to serve it. This collection from a distinguished group of contributors explores a range of topics including literature as imperialist propaganda, the representation of the colonies in British literature, the emergence of literary culture in the colonies and the creation of new gender roles such as ‘girl Crusoes’ in works of fiction. Based on the comparative study of texts and drawing on examples from throughout the empire, this book has a unique scope, shedding new light on the Victorian settler world and its cultural impact.
