This is a book about readers on the move in the age of Victorian
empire. It examines the libraries and reading habits of five
reading constituencies from the long nineteenth century: shipboard
emigrants, Australian convicts, Scottish settlers, polar explorers,
and troops in the First World War. What was the role of reading in
extreme circumstances? How were new meanings made under strange
skies? How was reading connected with mobile communities in an age
of expansion? Uncovering a vast range of sources from the period,
from diaries, periodicals, and literary culture, Bill Bell reveals
some remarkable and unanticipated insights into the way that
reading operated within and upon the British Empire for over a
century.
