Description

British adventure fiction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries frequently depicts the exploration, conquest, and colonization of other continents-even of other plantets. In spite of their popularity, such works often interrogate and subvert the very imperialist/colonialist enterprise that, for readers, exerts so powerful an imaginative appeal. This course will focus upon fictional representations of the cultural and environmental impacts of colonization on terrestrial and extraterrestrial peoples and places. Offered: Fall, even years
