Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The first study of Anglo-Hispanic exchanges in print culture between the Spanish-American War and the Spanish Civil War, surfacing new archival materials to shed light on global modernities and regional interactions.Tides of Progress studies the connections, interactions, and mutual appraisals… between the Hispanic and Anglo spheres during a critical period in which print culture evolved from the province of the lettered few into a mass-media phenomenon. Print culture is increasingly gaining recognition as a fruitful area for literary study and literary history, and this volumes comparative approach significantly expands the scope of current scholarship. Across all the main venues of the book New York, Mexico City, San Juan, Buenos Aires, Kingston, Panama City, Guadalajara periodicals flourished, borrowing and translating freely across linguistic boundaries. In some cases, they simply imported ideas; in others, they offered translated texts, ran columns in the other language, or even produced fully bilingual editions. Ideas of progress were reframed by translation, and they were often coded as modernity in terms of consumer products or modernism in literary texts, in contradistinction to more local forms such as literary modernismo. Tides of Progress provides compelling insights into and challenges assumptions about some of the regions key literary figures while also surfacing significant new archival materials. The volumes authors collectively present print culture as becoming one of the most visible ways through which modernity and ideas of progress were encountered, consumed, shared, and assimilated by the public, in both the Anglo and Hispanic spheres.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The British Empire drew on the talents of many remarkable figures, whose lives reveal a wonderfully rich involvement with the crucial issues of the period. In many cases they left a legacy of travel writing, novels, biography and ethnography which made important contributions to our knowledge…of other cultures."Writing, Travel and Empire" explores the lives and writings of eight such figures, including Sir George Grey, Gertrude Bell, Sir Hugh Clifford, and Roger Casement. All travelled the Empire - from Grey, the renowned colonial governor who undertook dangerous journeys to the interior of Australia, to Tom Harrisson, the emaciated polymath, war hero and Arctic explorer, whose time in the New Hebrides embraced both cannibalistic rituals and a meeting with film legend Douglas Fairbanks Sr, who sought Harrisson out for a Hollywood feature about savage life.All saw themselves as writers, despite their very different approaches and interests, and each was writing against a backdrop of the impending disappearance of indigenous cultures around the world.Writing from the margins of what was shortly to become the more formalised discipline of anthropology, their work yields interesting insights into both the issues of empire and the ways in which academic disciplines define the boundaries of their subject. Embracing themes such as gender and travel, racial science, the globalisation of 'native management' and the internal colonies, and with a geographical coverage that extends from South America to Russia via Africa and the South Seas, "Writing Travel and Empire" will engage all those with an interest in cultural geography, anthropology, history, postcolonial studies, biography and travel writing.
