Hunting for Empire: Narratives of Sport in Rupert's Land, 1840-70 (Nature, History, Society)

Hunting for Empire: Narratives of Sport in Rupert's Land, 1840-70 (Nature, History, Society) Review



Hunting for Empire offers a fresh cultural history of sport and imperialism. Greg Gillespie integrates critical perspectives from cultural studies, literary criticism, and cultural geography to analyze the themes of authorship, sport, science, and nature. In doing so he produces a unique theoretical lens through which to study nineteenth-century British big-game hunting and exploration narratives from the western interior of Rupert's Land.
