Abstract

George Alfred Henty (1832–1902) was one of the most significant and popular writers of adventure fiction in the late Victorian era. Although his work is often dismissed as blindly pro‐imperial and racist, a closer study of Henty reveals a crucial engagement with Britain's global presence and bears witness to popular literature's important role in shaping Victorian culture and politics.
