This book is an exploration of popular late nineteenth-century texts. Robert Dixon looks at a selection of adventure/romance writers whose narrative themes, he argues, captured many aspects of imperial ideology. Here is an original approach to popular fiction, both for its own sake and as a mode of cultural history.
