Download or read book An Account of the Pelew Islands written by George Keate and published by Leicester University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-18 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1783 the East India Company packet, the Antelope, was wrecked on the Pelew Islands (modern Micronesia). Captain Henry Wilson and his crew developed unusually amicable relations with the Palauan inhabitants, and when they departed, the 'prince' Lee Boo went with them to Britain. Lee Boo was a figure of fashionable interest in London, at once highly regarded for his intelligence, yet treated also as an exotic curiosity. His death from smallpox in 1784 occasioned wide regretful comment. An Account of the Pelew Islands is based on extensive interviews with Captain Wilson, Lee Boo and other participants. This new edition reproduces the text and includes essays on its significance for late eighteenth-century European culture and on the Micronesian dimensions of the voyage and the book. Annotations explain and contextualize points of historical and ethnographic significance and the original fine engraved portraits, artifacts and charts as well as clear new maps are included.

Download or read book A Fictive People written by Ronald J. Zboray and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores an important boundary between history and literature: the antebellum reading public for books written by Americans. Zboray describes how fiction took root in the United States and what literature contributed to the readers' sense of themselves. He traces the rise of fiction as a social history centered on the book trade and chronicles the large societal changes shaping, circumscribing, and sometimes defining the limits of the antebellum reading public. A Fictive People explodes two notions that are commonplace in cultural histories of the nineteenth century: first, that the spread of literature was a simple force for the democratization of taste, and, second, that there was a body of nineteenth-century literature that reflected a "nation of readers." Zboray shows that the output of the press was so diverse and the public so indiscriminate in what it would read that we must rethink these conclusions. The essential elements for the rise of publishing turn out not to be the usual suspects of rising literacy and increased schooling. Zboray turns our attention to the railroad as well as private letter writing to see the creation of a national taste for literature. He points out the ambiguous role of the nineteenth-century school in encouraging reading and convincingly demonstrates that we must look more deeply to see why the nation turned to literature. He uses such data as sales figures and library borrowing to reveal that women read as widely as men and that the regional breakdown of sales focused the power of print.
