Colonial
Voices focuses on Anglo-African writers of the nineteenth- and early
twentieth-centuries. There is a serious dearth of work on such late-imperial writers
of popular romances and this study examines the history, cultural rituals, and
beliefs that native-born and settler writers present in their novels and stories of
Africa. It also brings an important and neglected figure back into the canon-Bertram
Miford
(1855-1914).
Such English fiction writers as Mitford, H. Rider Haggard,
Olive
Schreiner,
W.
С.
Scully, John
Buchán,
Sol
Plaatje,
and others hold a unique
position in English literature, inasmuch as their work engages with the conflicts
between the indigenous and colonizing populations during the last great period of
discovery and exploration. While sensitive to the controversies that arise when
English writers utilize indigenous subject matter, this study makes a case for
considering the perspectives of these colonial writers to be as valid, even if different
from, the oral narratives of their indigenous counterparts. This look at the literary
legacies of the departed British empire defines in a fresh way the social tensions of
the imperial rise and decline.
The role of the Anglo-African Writers Club as an ideological center of
journalistic opinions and literary narration is highlighted here. Gathering at
monthly dinners in the Grand Hotel, London, these writers adopted the twin ideals
of dispelling British ignorance about colonial life while stimulating literary activity
in the colonies. Significantly, these goals express needs and themes that ominously
presage the troubling issues of politics, love, and vocation that come to the fore in
South African fiction of the later twentieth century. A growing interest in Africa
over the last decade means that even the Anglo-imperialist speaking of and for
indigenous Africans is no longer an unimportant
ч^оісе
from an insignificant corner
of the globe. The aim here is to mainstream these writers so that in future they will
be read alongside other Victorian/Edwardian novelists, not merely considered
special-topic local
coloriste.
