Abstract:

This article is concerned with travelling detectives in two different but related senses. On the one hand, it considers the relevance of trains and other vehicles of mobility for detective fiction, both as a topic of fiction and a place of consumption. On the other hand, it registers that detective fiction has to “travel“ in a more abstract sense before the reading traveler can enjoy it. German publishers appropriated the genre, originally a nineteenth-century American and British invention, at the beginning of the twentieth century. Based on contemporary observations by German cultural critic

Abstract:

Film historians have generally concentrated their research of British non-fiction film-making on the male directors and producers of the British documentary movement. This has resulted in the marginalisation of those operating in other non-fiction genres, in particular the many women documentarists who worked on educational, instructional, travel, commercial, government and industrial films from the 1930s to the 1970s. This article examines the histories of three women documentary film-makers to assess why women are frequently missing from the established accounts of the genre and argue for th

Abstract:

Presuming that both travel and crime fiction can be described as traditionally ‘white’ genres, this article investigates how contemporary Black British authors appropriate these genres. Focusing on Mike Phillips’s A Shadow of Myself and Bernardine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists, the article examines how the two novels redeem and suspend the traditional racial and national coding of travel writing and crime fiction by rehabilitating black mixed-race characters. In both novels, moreover, the rethinking of traditional popular genres coincides with, and is partly enabled by, a transnational shift in foc

Abstract:

AbstractThe article discusses basic questions of narrative studies and definitions of narrative from a historical and conceptual perspective in order to map the terrain between different narratologies. The focus is placed on the question of how fiction interacts with other realms of our lives or, more specifically, how reading fiction both involves and affects our everyday meaning making operations. British horror writer Ramsey Campbell’s (b. 1946) short story “The Scar” (1967) will be used as a test case to show how both narrative modes of representation and the reader’s narrative sense makin

Abstract:

This paper argues that Richard Jefferies’s After London (1885), often praised as a pioneering work of speculative fiction, has not been sufficiently understood within the context of late-Victorian imperial expansion. While After London is frequently read in tandem with Jefferies’s nature essays and speculative fiction like H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895), I locate the novel within the generic conventions of lost world fiction, a subgenre of the imperial romance associated with masculine adventure tales.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to analyze two of Roald Dahl’s short stories, “Poison” and “Man from the South”, beyond the classical approach to Dahl’s fiction. If Dahl’s adult fiction is most often read in terms of its extraordinary plots, as well as its macabre nature and unexpected endings, my intention is to look into both stories in the light of postcolonial studies. Not only is this approach justified on account of the setting where the stories take place, India and Jamaica, once part of the British Empire; the pertinence of such a reading is underlined by the presence of a number of elements

This article, however, focuses on Cameron's status as the most prolific of a range of explorers who turned to the affordances of prose fiction.

Young Adult Science Fiction (YASF) assumes added significance in nineteenth-century Bengal, being located within a network of contesting discourses. During its long history, Bangla YASF negotiated a complex set of knowledge systems that frequently focused on the body of the youth. We attempt to understand this discursive space with the help of three paradigms—“technological wonder,” “pedagogic systems,” and “the medicalized body.” We contend that these paradigms were instrumental in voicing subaltern concerns against the regime of British dominance.

In this typical imperialist narrative, Africa provides a setting for British boys to become men (Brantlinger, 1988).

Abstract:

Law and frontier technologies have been variously perceived in Western literature’s early classic utopias. Utopias’ diverse narratives and commentaries have applauded law’s interplay with technology or admonished it – utopias have variously imagined technological progress or pitfalls. Recently, given frontier technologies’ risk profiles, it has been suggested that a counter of intellectual humility should accompany their operation. Yet, intellectual humility is not a new awareness – its value, connecting with law and technology’s interplay, is illustrated in select utopias in the early Western

Abstract:

The article deals with the literary modes of constructing temporality in D. H. Lawrence’s Etruscan Places (1932), a travel book written in 1927 and published posthumously. Typically for the first decades of the twentieth century, the work reflects the writer’s anxieties about war force, scientific discoveries and cultural exhaustion in a series of interrelated essays on the remnants of ancient Etruria and the powerful memory of Etruscan civilization. In this article, Etruscan Places is read like a subjective re-creation of a lost civilization; it is interpreted as the writing of an imaginary p

Interspersed with the 635 woodcut prints designed for the edition by illustrator William Harvey, this version developed an identity for the Nights rooted in ethnographically realist art and annotation.

Abstract:

In Victorian times, when female travel narratives were read as excursions rather than expeditions, it was common for women authors to preface their travels with an apology. “What this book wants,” begins Mary Kingsley’s Travels in West Africa, “is not a simple preface but an apology, and a very brilliant and convincing one at that” (4). This tendency of the woman writer to depreciate her travel with an acknowledgment of its presumptuousness crafted her apology essentially as an admission of guilt. “Where I have offered my opinions,” Isabella Bird writes in The Englishwoman in America, “I have

Texts are not independent entities that are detached from their social, ideological, economic and cultural background. They are shaped by their authors who are affected by the discourse of their times. Thus, they make valuable sources in getting more information about social, political, and economic conditions of their periods. Mary Kingsley’s Travels in West Africa, as a part of colonial discourse, reflects the colonial world at the end of the Victorian period, which was rich in literature. This was a period during which British Imperialism reaches at its peak and leads to the saying, “the em
