The British Eighteenth Century and the Postcolonial Moment
challenges reigning cliches about 'modernity'. It intervenes in
debates within current literary theory by means of a close
engagement with texts from the British eighteenth-century, viewing
the latter as a resource for the contemporary postcolonial future.
Indeed, rather than 'applying' postcolonial theory to
eighteenth-century texts, the book instead refines postcolonial
theory by using such eighteenth-century authors as Swift, Gay,
Johnson, Sterne, and Equiano. The book will interest
eighteenth-century scholars, historians of the Enlightenment,
scholars of postcolonial fiction, and literary historians following
in the wake of Michel Foucault and Edward Said.
