520 A major contribution to the cultural and literary history
of the Victorian age, Rule of Darkness maps the complex
relationship between Victorian literary forms, genres, and
theories and imperialist, racist ideology. Critics and
cultural historians have usually regarded the Empire as
being of marginal importance to early and mid-Victorian
writers. Patrick Brantlinger asserts that the Empire was
central to British culture as a source of ideological and
artistic energy, both supported by and lending support to
widespread belief in racial superiority, the need to
transform "savagery" into "civilization," and the urgency
of promoting emigration.Rule of Darkness brings together
material from public records, memoirs, popular culture,
and canonical literature. Brantlinger explores the
influence of the novels of Captain Frederick Marryat,
pioneer of British adolescent adventure fiction, and shows
the importance of William Makepeace Thackeray's experience
of India to his novels. He treats a number of Victorian
best sellers previously ignored by literary historians,
including the Anglo-Indian writer Philip Meadows Taylor's
Confessions of a Thug and Seeta. Brantlinger situates
explorers' narratives and travelogues by such famous
author-adventurers as David Livingstone and Sir Richard
Burton in relation to other forms of Victorian and
Edwardian prose. Through readings of works by Arthur Conan
Doyle, Joseph Conrad, H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling,
John Hobson, and many others, he considers representations
of Africa, India, and other non-British parts of the world
in both fiction and nonfiction.The most comprehensive
study yet of literature and imperialism in the early and
mid-Victorian years, Rule of Darkness offers, in addition,
a revisionary interpretation of imperialism as a
significant factor in later British cultural history, from
the 1880s to World War I. It is essential reading for
anyone concerned with Victorian culture and society and,
more generally, with the relationship between Victorian
writers and imperialism, 'and between racist ideology and
patterns of domination in modern history.
