Studies the five writers widely read in the age of British imperialism. These writers bore emotional scars and as adults bolstered their fragile psychic states through fantasies of empire. It is said that, "Love's loss is empire's gain", and for these writers, this work shows, empire presented an opportunity to compensate for childhood calamity.
