Beschreibung
The original 'self-instructor' of the Boy Scout Movement, Scouting for Boys (1908) is probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet it is an extraordinary hodge-podge of jingoist lore, tracker legend, extracts from adventure fiction, and autobiographical writing which reveals the multiple anxieties of its author and time.

Über den Autor
Elleke Boehmer is the Professor of World Literature in English at the University of Oxford, and Director of the Oxford Centre for Life Writing at Wolfson College. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. A founding figure in the field of colonial and postcolonial literary studies, she is the author, editor, or co-editor of over twenty books, including monographs and novels. Her monographs include Colonial and Postcolonial Literature (1995/2005), Stories of Women (2005), Indian Arrivals (winner ESSE prize, 2015-16), and Postcolonial Poetics (2018). Her novels include The Shouting in the Dark (co-winner, Olive Schreiner Prize, 2015), and Screens Against the Sky (short-listed David Higham Prize, 1990). Her second collection of short stories, To the Volcano, appeared in 2019.

Robert Baden-Powell was born in 1857 and served in the British Army in India, Afghanistan and, later, West and southern Africa. His extemporising command of the siege of Mafeking during the Anglo-Boer War elevated Baden-Powell to the status of imperial symbol, lone hero of an empire under threat. In Scouting for Boys he mixed his love for the outdoors, and delight in play-acting, together with the games ethic of the Victorian public school, and processed these into a newly minted tradition, Britain's most successful recreational export of the twentieth century. His prolific production of Scouting texts continued unstinted virtually until his death, in 1941 in Kenya.
