| Summary |
This study interrogates the heterogeneous nature of Livingstone's legacy and explores the plurality of identities that he has posthumously acquired. Investigating Livingstone's own self-staging, his Victorian commemoration, his imperialist and Scottish reputations, and his afterlife in postcolonial fiction and drama, it offers the first full exploration of his many incarnations over a lengthy chronological period |
