White horizon : the Arctic in the nineteenth-century British imaginationHill, JenBridging historical and literary studies, White Horizon explores the importance of the Arctic to British understandings of masculine identity, the nation, and the rapidly expanding British Empire in ... the nineteenth century. Well before Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, polar space had come to represent the limit of both empire and human experience. Using a variety of texts, from explorers' accounts to boys' adventure fiction, as well as provocative and fresh readings of the works of Mary Shelley, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, and Wilkie Collins, Jen Hill illustrates the function of Arctic space in the nineteenth-century British social imagination, arguing that the desolate north was imagined as a 'pure' space, a conveniently blank page on which to write narratives of Arctic exploration that both furthered and critiqued British imperialismType of material - bookPublication and manufacture - Albany : State University of New York Press, cop. 2008Language - englishISBN - 0-7914-7230-2; 978-0-7914-7230-9COBISS.SI-ID - 55596130
