  Focusing on the work of Richard Francis Burton (1821-90), the iconic 19th-century imperial spy and translator, this study explores the White Man's 'imperial fantasies', and the ways in which the many metropolitan discourses to which Burton contributed drew upon and reinforced an intimate connection between fantasy and power in the space of Empire.
