'Angela Poon's new volume advances an intelligent, complex argument about the crafting of Englishness in multiple Victorian texts and colonial sites... I enjoyed the experience of reading Enacting Englishness and recommend it for anyone who is thinking seriously about colonialism or Englishness in the most aggressive era of British imperialism. Poon is a skilled practitioner of literary and cultural theory, and her nuanced readings leave me feeling eager to see more work from her in the future.' Victorian Studies '[Enacting Englishness] is clearly coherent and relevant and it obeys a well-documented argument debunking Victorian myths and truths all over the empire at its apex, both culturally and physically.'
