Description: "In the book, Bach contends that England's colonial ambitions surface in all of its literary texts, which played multiple roles in England's colonial expansions and emerging imperialism. Those roles included publicizing colonial efforts, defining some people as "white" and some as "savages," constituting enduring stereotypes of native people, and resisting official versions of colonial encounters."--BOOK JACKET.
