ENG324Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Frame Story, Metalepsis, New Imperialism
Document Summary
See several examples of this in king solomon"s mines: get a diary of their events, find out that henry"s brother has been living like robin crusoe; Or maybe telling it would be more accurate: maybe says that making the tale into a linear tale makes it more coherent to understand and not a diary format. Seems less accurate to write it afterwards (like alan did) Diary would be interesting for son to read, but changing the format it would make it more interesting for others to read. Play on exotic or the oriental other. Add to the idea that it might be a real story (exciting for kids) Translating fiction into reality (maybe it"s a real place) And then there"s the opposite: gagool: idea that the men could also be consumed by the female body (landscape wise) The scramble for africa when they"re dividing up africa. New imperialism: c. 1871-1914: focus of colonialism had shifted.
