Introduction: Romantic literature from the margins -- Romantic geographies -- Slavery and the romantic imagination -- Scottish romantic literature and post colonial studies -- Romantic orientalisms -- Coda: Romantic readers and writers, selves and others.
Literature played a crucial role in constructing and contesting the modern culture of empire that was fully in place by the start of the Victorian period. Postcolonial criticism's concern with issues of geopolitics, race and gender, subalternity and exoticism shape discussions of works by major authors such as Blake, Coleridge, both Shelleys, Austen and Scott, as well as their less familiar contemporaries. Key Features Explains how key theoretical concerns of postcolonial studies - its analyses of imaginary geography, the construction of otherness or difference, and cultural hybridity - have dramatically changed our understanding of Romantic literature Provides accessible yet sophisticated in-depth analyses of selected texts, in a range of genres, whose interpretation is illuminated by postcolonial criticism Includes a bibliographical essay along with up-to-date bibliography of criticism, editions of primary works, and selected historical materials
