    Focusing on Oceania's impact on Victorian culture, most notably travel writing, photography, international exhibitions, literature and the culture of childhood, this collection examines the Victorians' engagement with the Pacific. Whether intriguing accounts of its exotic peoples, flora, fauna and natural history were enough in and of themselves or whether they provoked a desire to venture forth, Oceania, or the Pacific, loomed large in the Victorian popular imagination

    Oceania, or the South Pacific, loomed large in the Victorian popular imagination. It was a world that interested the Victorians for many reasons, all of which suggested to them that everything was possible there. This collection of essays focuses on Oceania's impact on Victorian culture, most notably travel writing, photography, international exhibitions, literature, and the world of children. Each of these had significant impact. The literature discussed affected mainly the middle and upper classes, while exhibitions and photography reached down into the working classes, as did missionary presentations. The experience of children was central to the Pacific's effects, as youthful encounters at exhibitions, chapel, home, or school formed lifelong impressions and experience. It would be difficult to fully understand the Victorians as they understood themselves without considering their engagement with Oceania. While the contributions of India and Africa to the nineteenth-century imagination have been well-documented, examinations of the contributions of Oceania have remained on the periphery of Victorian studies. Oceania and the Victorian Imagination contributes significantly to our discussion of the non-peripheral place of Oceania in Victorian culture Cover -- Contents -- List of Figures -- List of Contributors -- Introduction -- Part 1 Travel, Exhibitions and Photography -- 1 Pacific Phantasmagorias: Robert Louis Stevenson's Pacific Photography -- 2 "Greater Britain": Late Imperial Travel Writing and the Settler Colonies -- 3 The South Seas Exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair, 1893 -- 4 Displaying an Oceanic Nation and Society -- Part 2 Fiction and the Pacific -- 5 "The White Lady and the Brown Woman" -- 6 Who's Who in "The Isle of Voices"? -- 7 At Home in the Empire -- 8 Isolation and Variation on Doctor Moreau's Oceanic Island -- Part 3 Childhood and Children -- 9 Cooks and Queens and Dreams: The South Sea Islands as Fairy Islands of Fancy -- 10 The South Seas in Mid-Victorian Children's Imagination -- 11 Watermarks on The Coral Island: The Pacific Island Missionary as Children's Hero -- 12 "Turned topsy-turvy" -- Select Bibliography -- Index
