Description

Explore Tamara S. Wagner's groundbreaking analysis of unsuccessful nineteenth-century emigration and its profound impact on English literature. This scholarly work uncovers the overlooked anti-emigration writing subgenre that emerged as a critical counterpoint to the dominant emigration propaganda machinery influencing popular fiction of the era. Wagner demonstrates how the exportation of characters functioned as both a narrative device and a reflection of public policy, revealing the cultural tensions and literary innovations that shaped Victorian prose. Essential reading for scholars, students, and literary historians interested in how failed emigration narratives exposed contradictions between imperial ambitions and social reality, fundamentally altering the trajectory of nineteenth-century English writing.

Key Features

Examines how failed emigration and return shaped Victorian writing in unexpected and culturally significant ways.

Identifies and analyses the anti-emigration writing subgenre as a vital literary counter-current to emigration propaganda.

Traces the relationship between character exportation in novels and broader public policies of the nineteenth century.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in literary criticism and historical analysis.

Combines literary theory with historical context to reveal how Victorian authors responded to emigration culture.
