Representations of British Emigration, Colonisation and Settlement by Robert D Grant

Representations of British Emigration, Colonisation and Settlement by Robert D Grant

This volume explores the complex relationships between early Nineteenth-Century representations of emigration, colonization and settlement, and the social, economic and cultural conditions within which they were produced.

A rich analysis of the visual and textual representations of colonial spaces that were paraded before the British metropolitan public by travel writers and colonial emigration promoters during the early to mid-nineteenth centuryIt is based on an impressively extensive reading of primary published sources about Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the USA.

This book serves as an example of how visual and textual analyses can be blended to reveal the grip on metropolitan imaginations that colonial landscapes and peoples could exert during the nineteenth century. As such, I would recommend it to anyone interested in the history of British colonisation.
