Isabel Hofmeyr Livres

Isabel Hofmeyr traces the relationship between print culture, colonialism, and the ocean through the institution of the late-nineteenth- and early twentieth- century British colonial custom houses, which acted as censors and pronounced on copyright and checked imported printed matter for piracy, sedition, or obscenity.

Isabel Hofmeyr's exploration of "The Pilgrim's Progress" examines its journey as an international bestseller, focusing on its translations and adaptations across different cultures, particularly in Africa. The book highlights the interplay of literary history, translation studies, and the impact of colonialism on its reception and Bunyan's legacy.
