Publisher's Notes
This unique volume brings together for the first time these three short fictional works written by British authors in the late 1880s and 1890s. Each writer takes a different perspective on the topic of imperialism. Contextual materials include related works by Darwin, Melville, and other contemporaries; biographical backgrounds; and modern reactions to the novels.
