| Zusammenfassung: | During the last thirty years of the nineteenth century the British Empire increased enormously and by 1900 the Empire covered a fifth of the world's land surface. In Britain itself, the growth of Empire came to the centre of the political debate and was applauded by a largely sympathetic press. Two sides of imperialism had emerged - the acquisition of territory and a campaign of propaganda to make imperialism 'popular'. Both are the subject of this book. 'The Language of Empire' describes how the Empire was constructed and given shape and meaning for its contemporaries. The author explores how the imperial 'story' was imagined and how the day-to-day activities of its participants were understood. He focuses on both the face of Empire as it was presented to the public, and at the lives of individual imperial soldiers or adventurers, exploring how the idea of Empire gave meaning to the actions of its participants. The author defines the role of discourse in determining this perception of reality - looking at the construction of Empire though the huge body of popular texts ranging from fiction, poetry and children's stories to history and biography. This study will appeal to readers interested in British imperialism, those engaging in literature and cultural studies as well as to specialists in colonial history |

A poetics of war -- 2. The Island Story -- 3. Deeds of Glory -- 4. The invention of Rhodesia -- 5. The Laureate of Empire --and his chorus -- 6. Soldiers of fortune -- 7. Popular fictions During the last thirty years of the nineteenth century the British Empire increased enormously and by 1900 the Empire covered a fifth of the world's land surface. In Britain itself, the growth of Empire came to the centre of the political debate and was applauded by a largely sympathetic press. Two sides of imperialism had emerged - the acquisition of territory and a campaign of propaganda to make imperialism 'popular'. Both are the subject of this book. 'The Language of Empire' describes how the Empire was constructed and given shape and meaning for its contemporaries. The author explores how the imperial 'story' was imagined and how the day-to-day activities of its participants were understood. He focuses on both the face of Empire as it was presented to the public, and at the lives of individual imperial soldiers or adventurers, exploring how the idea of Empire gave meaning to the actions of its participants. The author defines the role of discourse in determining this perception of reality - looking at the construction of Empire though the huge body of popular texts ranging from fiction, poetry and children's stories to history and biography. This study will appeal to readers interested in British imperialism, those engaging in literature and cultural studies as well as to specialists in colonial history 1994 Geschichte 1880-1918 gnd rswk-swf Colonialism & Imperialism / bicssc Literary Theory / bicssc General & World History / bicssc POLITICAL SCIENCE / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism / bisach LITERARY CRITICISM / General / bisach HISTORY / General / bisach Colonialism & imperialism / Literary theory / General & world history / thema English literature / 19th century / History and criticism English literature / 20th century / History and criticism Imperialism / Public opinion / History / 19th century Imperialism / Public opinion / History / 20th century Popular literature / Great Britain / History and criticism Imperialism in literature Myth in literature Metaphor Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Trivialliteratur (DE-588)4060946-7 gnd rswk-swf Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 gnd rswk-swf Imperialismus Motiv (DE-588)4299454-8 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Imperialismus Motiv (DE-588)4299454-8 s Geschichte 1880-1918 z DE-604 Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 s Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 s Trivialliteratur (DE-588)4060946-7 s DE-188 Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 s Elektronische Reproduktion von MacDonald, Robert H.
