Late Victorian quest romance has recently attracted renewed
attention from critics. Much of this interest has centred on its
politics of gender, and its vision of Empire. This book prefers to
view the genre in the light of debates within the then nascent
sciences of Anthropology and Archaeology. Starting with a
discussion of the nature of romance, it goes on to interpret the
encounters with lost or buried pasts. By describing encounters with
remote places and times, so it argues, these authors were asking
their readers disconcerting questions about humankind, and about
their own culture's institutions and beliefs. The book ends by
considering the implications of such a view for the whole colonial
enterprise.
