This fascinating study reveals the extent to which the Orientalism
of Byron and the Shelleys resonated with the reformist movement of
the Romantic era. It documents how and why radicals like Bentham,
Cobbett, Carlile, Hone and Wooler, among others in
post-Revolutionary Britain, invoked Turkey, North Africa and Mughal
India when attacking and seeking to change their government's
domestic policies. Examining a broad archive ranging from satires,
journalism, tracts, political and economic treatises, and public
speeches, to the exotic poetry and fictions of canonical
Romanticism, Gerard Cohen-Vrignaud shows that promoting
colonization was not Orientalism's sole ideological function.
Equally vital was its aesthetic and rhetorical capacity to alienate
the people's affection from their rulers and fuel popular
opposition to regressive taxation, penal cruelty, police
repression, and sexual regulation.
