CfP: Seeing the Other Empire. British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914

This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.
