Victorian Travel Writing and Imperial Violence

British Writing on Africa, 1855-1902

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

Offering a wide-ranging approach to travel literature's significance in Victorian life, this book features analysis of physical and verbal violence in major exploration narratives as well as lesser-known volumes and newspaper accounts of expeditions.
