Imagining the Cape Colony: History, Literature, and the South African Nation - описание и краткое содержание, автор Johnson David (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

This volume explores how the Cape Colony was imagined as a political community by considering a variety of writers, from major European literati and intellectuals (Camoes, Southey, Rousseau, Adam Smith), to well-known travel writers like Francois Levaillant and Lady Anne Barnard, to figures on the margins of colonial histories, like settler rebels, slaves and early African nationalists. Complementing the analyses of these primary texts are discussions of the many subsequent literary works and histories of the Cape Colony.
