The discovery of the Pacific islands amplified the qualities of mystery and exoticism already associated
with ‘foreign islands. Their ‘savage peoples, their isolation and their sheer beauty fascinated British
visitors across the long nineteenth century. Dark Paradise argues that while the British originally
believed the islands to be commercial paradises or perfect sites for missionary endeavours, their
optimistic vision transformed to portray darker realities as the century progressed. As a result, these
islands act as a ‘breaking point’ for British theories of imperialism, colonialism and identity. The
book traces the changing British attitudes towards imperial settlement as the early view of‘island as
paradise’ gave way to a fear of the hostile islanders and examines how this revelation undermined a key
tenent of British imperialism - that they were the ‘superior’ or ‘civilised5 islanders.
Key Features
• The first monograph to trace the Pacific islands as represented through the lens of British fiction and
non-fiction across the long nineteenth century
• Examines texts written by Pacific islanders and published in the British press, recovering lost voices
• Significantly broadens our understanding of the British Pacific by analysing understudied Pacific
texts and authors alongside more canonical works
• Provides ecocritical readings of Charles Darwin and Robert Louis Stevenson
