Overview
Engaging closely with the work of Richard Francis Burton--the iconic nineteenth century imperial spy, explorer and translator--this book sheds new light on the White Man's 'imperial fantasies' and the ways in which metropolitan discourses drew upon and reinforced an intimate connection between fantasy and power in the space of Empire.
