The English Patient and the Italian Risorgimento: Medical Tourism and the Body Politic in Giovanni Ruffini's Doctor Antonio (1855)
Doctor Antonio (1855), Giovanni Ruffini's novel of therapeutic travel, cross-cultural love and Risorgimento propaganda, pairs an English patient's quest for renewed health in Italy in the 1840s with the concurrent resurgence of the Italian nation through political action.

South Sea Tales
The literary world was shocked when in 1889, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle in Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he used his new environment to produce critical treatments of imperialism. This volume presents a selection of his Pacific fiction.
Piracy, Slavery, and the Imagination of Empire in Stevenson's Pacific Fiction
O FFICIALLY, BRITAIN WAS a reluctant coloniser in the Pacific. Unwilling to take on the expense and responsibility of colonial administration, or to interfere with the imperial ambitions of other European powers in the region, successive British governments in the nineteenth century turned down offers of protectorates and other opportunities to colonize Pacific lands.

Henry James
This is a study of Henry James's changing attitudes to history as a narrative model, tracing the development from his early interest in ‘scientific’ historiography to the radically anti-historical character of his late works. James's use of the term ‘history’ was influenced by developments in nineteenth-century historiography, but was also embedded in the complex of defensive manœuvres through which Victorian culture sought to control its anxiety…
Henry James: History, Narrative, Fiction
The Ambassadors and the Fictional Contract
The ‘deep taste of change’ pervades the opening chapters of The Ambassadors, as Lambert Strether begins his encounter with Europe. The first stage of this encounter is described in terms which markedly draw attention to the idea that the novel is leaving behind the imaginative world of Henry James's experimental phase, to enter new territory in its exploration of the relations between fiction and history. Through Strether's imaginative adventures…
