Biography
Dr. Lars Atkin has research interests in Victorian and Romantic literature; missionary writing; ethnography and displayed peoples; and the literatures and institutions of the British settler colonies. Their latest monograph, 'Writing The South African San:Colonial Ethnographic Discourses' (Palgrave, 2021) draws on frameworks from critical anthropology, critical indigenous studies, imperial history and literary studies to show the role that literary representations of Indigenous people played in popularising hierarchical views of racial difference in the long nineteenth century. They are also co-author of 'Early Public Libraries and Colonial Citizenship in the British Southern Hemisphere (Palgrave, 2019, with Sarah Comyn et al) and co-editor with Emily Bell of The Curran Index, an open-access database of over 168,000 attributions for articles from the Victorian press. http://curranindex.org/
