Jason Rudy argues that the poetry of Victorian-era Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada--often disparaged as derivative and uncouth--should instead be seen as vitally engaged in the social and political work of settlement. The book illuminates cultural pressures that accompanied the unprecedented growth of British emigration across the nineteenth century. It also explores the role of poetry as a mediator between familiar British ideals and new colonial paradigms within emerging literary markets from Sydney and Melbourne to Cape Town and Halifax. Rudy focuses on the work of poets both canonical--including Tennyson, Browning, Longfellow, and Hemans--and relatively obscure, from Adam Lindsay Gordon, Susanna Moodie, and Thomas Pringle to Henry Kendall and Alexander McLachlan. He examines in particular the nostalgic relations between home and abroad, core and periphery, whereby British emigrants used both original compositions and canonical British works to imagine connections between their colonial experiences and the lives they left behind in Europe. Drawing on archival work from four continents, Imagined Homelands insists on a wider geographic frame for nineteenth-century British literature. From lyrics printed in newspapers aboard emigrant ships heading to Australia and South Africa, to ballads circulating in New Zealand and Canadian colonial journals, poetry was a vibrant component of emigrant life. In tracing the histories of these poems and the poets who wrote them, this book provides an alternate account of nineteenth-century British poetry and, more broadly, of settler colonial culture"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory$2bisacsh 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$zColonies$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNational characteristics, English, in literature 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aEnglish poetry$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCommonwealth poetry (English)$xHistory and criticism 610 $aLiterary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, English, in literature. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCommonwealth poetry (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821/.8099171241 686 $aLIT006000$aLIT004120$aLIT014000$2bisacsh 700 $aRudy$b Jason R.$f1975-$01167488 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524889903321 996 $aImagined Homelands$92719542 997 $aUNINA
