Question

the lost world is a great adventure story which is fast paced ​

Answer 1

Answer:

George Newnes's popular illustrated monthly, the Strand Magazine (1891-1950), anticipated with great fanfare the serialization of Arthur Conan Doyle's latest work, The Lost World (April-November 1912). The advertisement above, delivered in large, bold lettering, and set within a box occupying half of the issue's final page, expresses much confidence in the "Great New Adventure Story"--in spite of the novel's own admission, in the first installment, that "the big blank spaces in the map are all being filled in, and there's no room for romance anywhere" (10). (1) Critics from Patrick Brantlinger onwards have long associated late-Victorian stories of swashbuckling male adventurers in exoticized, primitive locations with the British imperial project; thus, the disastrous Anglo-Boer Wars, Indian nationalism, and the expansion of American global influence all seem plausible contexts for the decline of imperial romance after the turn of the century. In reference specifically to The Lost World, several scholars have argued that Doyle's noticeably hyperbolic--even comedic--use of adventure tropes perform an awareness that adventure fiction was fading with the fortunes of empire (Duncan xii-xiii, Dirda 35-36, Forman 28). The present essay, however, takes seriously the Strand's claim about The Lost World's novelty: what is "new" about it, especially if its plot strictly adheres to conventions of earlier "lost world" adventure fiction--an "offspring," according to Bradley Deane (206), of imperial romance? Much like Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth (first translated into English in 1871), The Lost World features a group of men, led by a professor, who discover a prehistoric land. And, in a spirit similar to that of H. Rider Haggard's popular Allan Quatermain stories beginning with King Solomon's Mines (1885) or Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King (1888), The Lost World is a story of imperial encounter and plunder: the English adventurers--aided by "two half-breeds, one negro, and five Indians" (Summary, Strand 603)--not only discover extant prehistoric creatures, but also defeat a tribe of primitive ape-men and unearth hidden riches in the Amazon Basin.
