Description

Explore a new perspective on nineteenth-century literature with Victorian Narratives of Failed Emigration by Tamara S. Wagner. Published by Routledge, this scholarly study examines the experiences of unsuccessful emigrants and returnees during the Victorian era. While much of the period's literature served as propaganda for emigration, Wagner identifies a significant and previously unexplored subgenre of anti-emigration writing. This work looks at how the failure to settle abroad and the subsequent return home shaped English-language narratives in unexpected ways. By analyzing how authors used the exportation of characters as a narrative tool, this book reveals how literature mirrored and sometimes exaggerated the public policies of the time. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the cultural history of movement, nineteenth-century literary theory, and the complex relationship between fiction and social propaganda.
