In the course of the nineteenth century France built up a colonial
empire second only to Britains. The literary tradition in which it
dealt with its colonial 'Other' is frequently understood in terms
of Edward Said's description of Orientalism as both a Western
projection and a 'will to govern' over the Orient. There is,
however, a body of works that eludes such a simple categorisation,
offering glimpses of colonial resistance, of a critique of
imperialist hegemony, or of a blurring of the boundaries between
the Self and the Other. Some of the ways in which the imperialist
enterprise is subverted in the metropolitan literature of this
period are examined in this volume through detailed case studies of
key works by Chateaubriand, Hugo, Flaubert and Segalen.
