Opis

Engaging with the work of Richard Francis Burton, the iconic 19th century imperial spy, explorer and translator, this book sheds new light on the white man's 'imperial fantasies', and ways in which metropolitan discourses drew upon and reinforced an intimate connection between fantasy and power in the space of empire.
