Book Description
The following sketches were made at different times and during various cruises in the United States. The earlier ones are fairly close records of the scenes and incidents which they profess to describe. The author's movements in the country referred to in the two latter were, however, too desultory to admit of similar treatment; in some cases the author traversed the same ground two or three times, and remained for weeks without gleaning anything that would be of interest to the ordinary reader. In the trips detailed in this part of the book, therefore, the author has occasionally introduced characters and materials that do not strictly belong in the situations assigned to them. In fact, the author's object has been rather to present two characteristic studies of local color than bare records of the travels that afford a pretext for them.

The Transatlantic Indian, 1776-1930
Author: Kate Flint
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691203180
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
This book takes a fascinating look at the iconic figure of the Native American in the British cultural imagination from the Revolutionary War to the early twentieth century, and examining how Native Americans regarded the British, as well as how they challenged their own cultural image in Britain during this period. Kate Flint shows how the image of the Indian was used in English literature and culture for a host of ideological purposes, and she reveals its crucial role as symbol, cultural myth, and stereotype that helped to define British identity and its attitude toward the colonial world. Through close readings of writers such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and D. H. Lawrence, Flint traces how the figure of the Indian was received, represented, and transformed in British fiction and poetry, travelogues, sketches, and journalism, as well as theater, paintings, and cinema. She describes the experiences of the Ojibwa and Ioway who toured Britain with George Catlin in the 1840s; the testimonies of the Indians in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show; and the performances and polemics of the Iroquois poet Pauline Johnson in London. Flint explores transatlantic conceptions of race, the role of gender in writings by and about Indians, and the complex political and economic relationships between Britain and America. The Transatlantic Indian, 1776-1930 argues that native perspectives are essential to our understanding of transatlantic relations in this period and the development of transnational modernity.
