- This 'metabiography' of David Livingstone is unusually broad in both scope and scale. It entailed extensive research across several fields, including the history of the Victorian Empire, travel writing and Scottish Literature, while its contribution on the methodological side required the author to gain expertise in biography and life writing studies. Interpretative claims of the core argument are based on thorough analysis of publisher's revisions to MS of Missionary Travels (John Murray Archives). Later chapters engage with Livingstone's postcolonial reputation in a wide range of recent fictional sources.
