Travellers in Africa: British Travelogues, 1850-1900

Tim Youngs

Through detailed examination of British accounts of African eating habits, of the reported effects of Africa upon the objects travellers carried with them, and of Stanley’s controversial Emin Pasha Relief Expedition, deep anxieties over Victorian era British social change and cultural identity are examined. Youngs argues that such concerns must be assessed in any discussion on the construction and transmission of racial stereotypes. The book closes with a consideration of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness as a travel narrative, and contrasts Marlow’s Congo with Stanley’s. Distributed by St. Martin’s.
