Joanna Lewis explores how David Livingstone's death tied together British imperialism and Victorian humanitarianism and inserted it into popular culture. Sacrifice and death; Superman like heroism; the devotion of Africans; the cruelty of Arab slavery; and the sufferings of the 'ordinary man', generated waves of sentimental feeling. These powerful myths, images and feelings incubated down the generations--through grand ceremonies, further exploration, humanitarianism, Christian teaching, narratives of masculine endeavour and heroic biography--inspiring colonial rule in Africa, white settler pioneers, missionaries and Africans. Empire of Sentiment demonstrates how this central African story shaped Britain's romantic perception of itself as a humane power overseas when the colonial reality fell far short. Through sentimental humanitarianism, Livingstone helped sustain a British Empire in Africa that remained profoundly Victorian, polyphonic and ideological; whilst always understood at home as proudly liberal on race. 600 10 $a Livingstone, David, $d 1813-1873. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z Africa, Sub-Saharan $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Humanitarianism $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Imperialism $x History $y 19th century. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802014613.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94220532961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
