| Zusammenfassung: | British Imperial Fiction, 1870–1940 traces the gradual process by which the colonial bureaucratic subject was constructed in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain. Daniel Bivona's study offers insightful readings of a number of influential writers who were involved in promoting the ideology of bureaucratic self-sacrifice, the most important of whom are Stanley, Kipling and T. E. Lawrence. He examines how this governing ideology is treated in the novels of Joseph Conrad, Joyce Cary and George Orwell. By placing the complexities of individual texts in a much larger historical context, this study makes the original claim that the colonial bureaucrat played an ambiguous but nonetheless central role in both pro-imperial and anti-imperial discourse, his own power relationship with bureaucratic superiors shaping the terms in which the proper relationship between colonizer and colonized was debated |

Daniel Bivona's study offers insightful readings of a number of influential writers who were involved in promoting the ideology of bureaucratic self-sacrifice, the most important of whom are Stanley, Kipling and T. E. Lawrence. He examines how this governing ideology is treated in the novels of Joseph Conrad, Joyce Cary and George Orwell. By placing the complexities of individual texts in a much larger historical context, this study makes the original claim that the colonial bureaucrat played an ambiguous but nonetheless central role in both pro-imperial and anti-imperial discourse, his own power relationship with bureaucratic superiors shaping the terms in which the proper relationship between colonizer and colonized was debated Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1870-1940 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Kolonie English literature / 20th century / History and criticism English literature / 19th century / History and criticism Imperialism in literature Colonies in literature Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Great Britain / Colonies / Administration / History / 20th century Great Britain / Colonies / Administration / History / 19th century Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Kolonialismus (DE-588)4073624-6 s Geschichte 1870-1940 z 1\p DE-604 Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s 2\p DE-604 Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-06658-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-59100-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511585159 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
