Imperial Steam explores the early history of steamship travel to
Britain's imperial East. Drawing upon the wealth of voyage
narratives which were produced in the first decades of the new
route to India, the book examines the thoughts, emotions and
experiences of those whose lives were caught up with the imperial
project. The potent symbolism of the steamship, which exceeded the
often harsh realities of travel, provided a convincing narrative
for coming to terms with Britain's global empire - not just for
passengers, but for those at home who consumed the ubiquitous
accounts of steamship travel. Imperial Steam thus contributes to
our understanding of the role of imperial networks in the
production of the British imperial world view. -- .
