Description

This scholarly study examines how Victorian boys' adventure novels shaped children's understanding of empire, with particular emphasis on the South Pacific setting. Michelle Elleray's analysis reveals the deep connections between missionary culture and popular fiction aimed at young readers, exploring how evangelical narratives about coral island formation influenced Victorian literature. The work investigates how missionary investments in marginalised communities-including children, working-class readers, and racial others-created new forms of agency visible within mid-Victorian adventure tales. By tracing these intersections between missionary work and boys' fiction, the volume demonstrates how empire was conveyed to Victorian audiences through accessible popular forms. Part of Routledge's Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present series, this book offers insight into the cultural dynamics of nineteenth-century imperialism and childhood literature.
