{"product_id":"literary-culture-and-the-pacific-vanessa-smith-9780521573597","title":"Literary Culture and the Pacific: Nineteenth-Century Textual Encounters","description":"This book examines a range of nineteenth-century European accounts from the Pacific that depict Polynesian responses to imported metropolitan culture, in particular its technologies of writing and print and how they were appropriated and interrogated by Pacific peoples. Examining accounts by beachcombers and missionaries, and offering a detailed discussion of the late Pacific writings of Robert Louis Stevenson, Vanessa Smith argues that the texts of contact and settlement are shaped at least as much by local contexts as by the agendas of their European authors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanessa Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521573599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521573597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Vanessa Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422197629183,"sku":"9780521573597","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64a6ba05-54aa-446f-91f4-05d6bb186ae7.jpg?v=1761527541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literary-culture-and-the-pacific-vanessa-smith-9780521573597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
