The imperial imaginary -- the press, empire, and the literary figure.All of London exploded on the night of May 18, 1900, in the biggest West End party ever seen. The mix of media manipulation, patriotism, and class, race, and gender politics that produced the 'spontaneous' festivities of Mafeking Night begins this analysis of the cultural politics of late-Victorian imperialism. Paula M. Krebs examines 'the last of the gentlemen's wars' - the Boer War of 1899-1902 - and the struggles to maintain an imperialist hegemony in a twentieth-century world, through the war writings of Arthur Conan Doyle, Olive Schreiner, H. Rider Haggard, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as contemporary journalism, propaganda, and other forms of public discourse. Her feminist analysis of such matters as the sexual honor of the British soldier at war, the deaths of thousands of women and children in 'concentration camps', and new concepts of race in South Africa marks this book as a significant contribution to British imperial studies.Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;23.South African War, 1899-1902Literature and the warSouth African War, 1899-1902Foreign public opinion, BritishEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismImperialism in literatureSex role in literatureRace in literatureSouth AfricaForeign relationsGreat BritainGreat BritainForeign relationsSouth AfricaSouth AfricaForeign public opinion, BritishSouth AfricaIn literatureSouth African War, 1899-1902Literature and the war.South African War, 1899-1902Foreign public opinion, British.English literatureHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.Imperialism in literature.Sex role in literature.Race in literature.820.9/358Krebs Paula M1711943MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819697703321Gender, race, and the writing of empire4103670UNINA
