Download or read book Literary Culture and the Pacific written by Vanessa Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1998 book examines a range of nineteenth-century European accounts from the Pacific, depicting Polynesian responses to imported metropolitan culture, in particular its technologies of writing and print. Texts designed to present self-affirming images of 'native' wonderment at European culture in fact betray the emergence of more complex modes of appropriation and interrogation by the Pacific peoples. Vanessa Smith argues that the Pacific islanders called into question the material basis and symbolic capacities of writing, even as they were first being framed in written representations. Examining accounts by beachcombers and missionaries, she suggests that complex modes of self-authorization informed the transmission of new cultural practices to the Pacific peoples. This shift of attention towards reception and appropriation provides the context for a detailed discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's late Pacific writings.

Download or read book Robert Louis Stevenson and the Colonial Imagination written by Ann C. Colley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her distinguished and hauntingly rendered book, Ann C. Colley provides a fresh insight into Stevenson's multi-voiced South Seas fiction as well as into the particulars and complications of living within a newly established site of Empire. Bringing to light information from the archives of the London Missionary Society, the Writers' Museum (Edinburgh), the Beinecke Library (Yale University), the Huntington Library (San Marino, California), and the Royal Geographical Society (London), Colley examines Stevenson's complex involvement with the colonial imagination. Her exploration of the missionary culture surrounding Robert Louis Stevenson during the last six years of his life (1888-1894) uncovers hitherto unscouted routes by which to understand Stevenson's multi-layered fiction as well as his experiences in the South Seas, both as a traveler and as a resident colonial in Samoa. This context offers a new and important approach to Stevenson's views on memory, alienation, power, class, and nationhood.
