Urban
In this essay, I argue for the importance of employing the concept of the urban when analyzing Victorian Britain, given the status of the British Isles as the most urbanized place on the planet during the nineteenth century
The Book as Prop in the Missionary Imagination
This chapter examines the uncanny process of readers being shaped in the image of their representations over time, focusing on Africans’ cultural encounters with the Berlin Missionary Society. It uses the concept of ‘visuality’ to examine the politics embedded in images of missionised readers in nineteenth-century Africa, demonstrating the complex interplay between real readers, and a number of images of readers that were recycled as engravings a…
The Empire Reads Back
This chapter demonstrates that when 18 th and 19 th -century travellers engaged with the world, they also engaged with the written word, arguing that historians of Britain’s relationship with the rest of the world therefore need to consider the ways in which people read about it.

Yet, an examination of other sources from Victorian London demonstrates that many Britons continued…
Autobiography as a Micrometer for Empire
The relationship between the B ritish empire and the metropolitan populace remains a recurring point of debate for historians. Autobiographies, such as that of the nineteenth‐century tailor J ames C arter (1792–1853), offer a means of moving beyond the question of working‐class knowledge of the empire, to understand the ways in which workers perceived the role and significance of the empire within the context of their own lives. Analysis of C art…
