Cutting across disciplinary boundaries, the book integrates photographs with letters, non-fiction, and poetry, and includes much unpublished material. The original readings of photographs and non-fiction highlight Stevenson’s engagement with colonial ideology and reality and advance new arguments about Victorian travel, settlement, and colonialisms in the Pacific. Like the Stevensons, the book moves from the Marquesas to the atolls of the Gilbert Islands in Micronesia; from the Kingdom of Hawai‘i’s political ambitions to Samoan plantations and the Stevensons’ settlement at Vailima. Central to this study is the notion that Pacific history and Pacific Island cultures matter to the interpretation of Stevenson‘s work, and a rigorous historical and cultural contextualization ensures that local details structure literary and photographic interpretation. The book’s historical grounding is key to its insightful conclusions regarding travel, settlement, photography, and colonialism.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Robert Louis Stevenson; Travel writing; Travel photography; Pacific photography; Pacific culture; Ninetee | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-98313-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-40493-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-98313-4Series ISSN 2634-6494 Series E-ISSN 2634-6508 | | issn_series | 2634-6494 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
