Fieldwork of Empire, 1840-1900: Intercultural Dynamics in the
Production of British Expeditionary Literature examines the impact
of non-western cultural, political, and social forces and agencies
on the production of British expeditionary literature; it is a
project of recovery. The book argues that such non-western impact
was considerable, that it shaped the discursive and material
dimensions of expeditionary literature, and that the impact extends
to diverse materials from the expeditionary archive at a scale and
depth that critics have previously not acknowledged. The focus of
the study falls on Victorian expeditionary literature related to
Africa, a continent of accelerating British imperial interest in
the nineteenth century, but the study's findings have the potential
to inform scholarship on European expeditionary, imperial, and
colonial literature from a wide variety of periods and locations.
The book's analysis is illustrative, not comprehensive. Each
chapter targets intercultural encounters and expeditionary
literature associated with a specific time period and African
region or location. The book suggests that future scholarship -
especially in areas such as expeditionary history, geography,
cartography, travel writing studies, and book history - needs to
adopt much more of a localized, non-western focus if it is to offer
a full account of the production of expeditionary discourse and
literature.
