Description

Explore the deep connections between mid-Victorian boys adventure novels and missionary culture in this scholarly work by Michelle Elleray. Part of the Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present series, this book investigates how the concept of empire was communicated to children through popular literature. By focusing on the South Pacific as a central location for both adventure stories and missionary activities, the text examines how evangelical narratives helped shape the perception of coral islands. The research looks at how missionary investments in various social groups, including the young, the working class, and the racial other, created new forms of agency. These shifts are clearly visible within the pages of mid-Victorian adventure fiction. This volume is an essential resource for readers interested in historical literature, the history of childhood, and the cultural impact of the British Empire.
