Using narrative theory and postcolonial theory, this study--through close readings of the novels of Dickens, Disraeli, and Jules Verne, travel narratives by Lucie Duff Gordon, Emmeline Lott, and William Simpson, and other texts--shows how novels and travel narratives functioned to carry and promote the imperial transformation of Egypt.
