"Exposing and detailing the subtle challenges to colonial “prejudices” in the late-Victorian and early-modern press provides this collection of essays with its impetus. The result is a vigorous, detailed, and readable book that explores the colonial construction of empire and the postcolonial resistance to it in the Victorian home and colonial press."--Allan H. Simmons, from English Literature in Translation, 1880-1920. Vol. 47 No. 3 (2004)
