Malaria and Victorian Fictions of Empire (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture, Series Number 114)

Jessica Howell

4.9/5 (22465 ratings)

Description:The impact of malaria on humankind has been profound. Focusing on depictions of this iconic 'disease of empire' in nineteenth-century and postcolonial fiction, Jessica Howell shows that authors such as Charles Dickens, Henry James, H. Rider Haggard, Olive Schreiner, and Rudyard Kipling did not simply adopt the discourses of malarial containment and cure offered by colonial medicine. Instead, these authors adapted and rewrote some common associations with malarial images such as swamps, ruins, mosquitoes, blood, and fever. They also made use of the unique potential of fiction by incorporating chronic, cyclical illness, bodily transformation and adaptation within the very structures of their novels. Howell's study also examines the postcolonial literature of Amitav Ghosh and Derek Walcott, arguing that these authors make use of the multivalent and subversive potential of malaria in order to rewrite the legacies of colonial medicine.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
