Abstract:This article throws light on a relatively unexpected area of Namibian history, namely the writings by Victorians on the country. It gives a brief overview of English writings concerning Namibia and its inhabitants. The Victorians directly involved with Namibia were Charles Andersson, James Alexander, Francis Galton (the eugenicist), Thomas Baines and James Chapman. Bibliogr. [ASC Leiden abstract]
