Book Description
Excerpt from Nineteen Years in Polynesia: Missionary Life, Travels, and Researches in the Islands of the Pacific Having, in the good providence of God, returned on a visit to my native land, after an absence of twenty years, as an ambassador of the British Churches to the heathen, it is natural and right to inquire where I have been, what I have seen and heard, and what I have done. A reply to such questions is the simple design of the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Literary Culture and the Pacific
Author: Vanessa SmithPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521573597
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
This 1998 book examines a range of nineteenth-century European accounts from the Pacific, depicting Polynesian responses to imported metropolitan culture, in particular its technologies of writing and print. Texts designed to present self-affirming images of 'native' wonderment at European culture in fact betray the emergence of more complex modes of appropriation and interrogation by the Pacific peoples. Vanessa Smith argues that the Pacific islanders called into question the material basis and symbolic capacities of writing, even as they were first being framed in written representations. Examining accounts by beachcombers and missionaries, she suggests that complex modes of self-authorization informed the transmission of new cultural practices to the Pacific peoples. This shift of attention towards reception and appropriation provides the context for a detailed discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's late Pacific writings.
