Robert Louis Stevenson And The Colonial Imagination

Attribution
Ann C. Colley
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate Pub, 2004

- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
In particular, she investigates Stevenson’s complex relationship to the missionary culture that surrounded him during the last six years of his life (1888-1894), revealing hitherto unscouted routes by which to understand Stevenson’s experiences while he was cruising among the South Sea islands, and later while he was a resident colonial in Samoa. Beginning with a history of the missionaries in the Pacific that reveals Stevenson’s criticism of, yet ultimate support for, their work, and demonstrates how these attitudes helped shape his South Sea fiction, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Colonial Imagination constitutes a major work of reconstruction from archival sources.

American Geographics : U.S. National Narratives And The Representation Of The Non-European World, 1830-1865

Attribution
Bruce A. Harvey
Publication Details
Book, Stanford University Press, 2001
Description
A variety of issues and ideologies were thereby mediated, contested, or brought into focus: natural legalism (via Polynesia), the Protestant quest for scriptural luminosity (via the Holy Land), the fear of racial hybridity (via tropical America), and the question of African American agency (via Cuba and Africa). American Geographics, which ranges across the disciplines of archaeology, religion, anthropology, spatial studies, and literary analysis, challenges traditional (and still current) paradigms that trace only the nation?s transit westward across the frontier or its inheritance from and allegiance to the Old World.

Farther Than Any Man : The Rise And Fall Of Captain James Cook

Attribution
Martin Dugard
Publication Details
Book, Pocket Books, 2001
Description
James Cook never laid eyes on the sea until he was in his teens. In Farther Than Any Man, noted modern-day adventurer Martin Dugard strips away the myth of Cook and instead portrays a complex, conflicted man of tremendous ambition (at times to a fault), intellect (though Cook was routinely underestimated) and sheer hardheadedness. James Cook is a thrilling story of a discoverer hell-bent on traveling farther than any man. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
