- This 258-page monograph on the imaginative representations of Pacific Island topographies in Anglo-American culture is extremely broad in scope and scale, incorporating a wide array of disciplinary fields – primarily literary criticism and postcolonial critical theory, but also comparative cultural studies, human geography, and social science. Completed over a number of years, this ambitious project makes a substantial intellectual contribution to the burgeoning field of island studies by pulling together disparate prior scholarship and data in this field, exploring a huge variety of primary text, films, and television series, including fictions by Stacpoole, Lawrence, Golding, Tournier, Sage, Garland, and Martel.
