| Zusammenfassung: | The Language of Empire describes how the Empire was constructed, 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 through 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 |
| Abstract: | 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 large 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 |

Press 1994 XII, 268 S. Ill., graph. Darst. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Studies in imperialism 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 large 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, 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 through 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 Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1880-1918 gnd rswk-swf Beeldvorming gtt Britse Rijk gtt Imperialisme gtt Impérialisme - Opinion publique - Histoire - 19e siècle Impérialisme - Opinion publique - Histoire - 20e siècle Impérialisme dans la littérature Littérature anglaise - 19e siècle - Histoire et critique Littérature anglaise - 20e siècle - Histoire et critique Mythe dans la littérature Mythevorming gtt Métaphore Paralittérature - Grande-Bretagne - Histoire et critique Populaire literatuur gtt Darstellung Geschichte English literature 19th century History and criticism English literature 20th century History and criticism Imperialism in literature Imperialism Public opinion History 19th century Imperialism Public opinion History 20th century Metaphor Myth in literature Popular literature Great Britain History and criticism Imperialismus Motiv (DE-588)4299454-8 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Trivialliteratur (DE-588)4060946-7 gnd rswk-swf Imperialismus (DE-588)4026651-5 gnd rswk-swf Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien 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 |
