This book considers indigenous-language translations of Romantic
texts in the British colonies. It argues that these translations
uncover a latent discourse around colonisation in the original
English texts. Focusing on poems by William Wordsworth, John Keats,
Felicia Hemans, and Robert Burns, and on Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, it
provides the first scholarly insight into the reception of major
Romantic authors in indigenous languages, and makes a major
contribution to the study of global Romanticism and its colonial
heritage. The book demonstrates the ways in which colonial
controversies around prayer, song, hospitality, naming, mapping,
architecture, and medicine are drawn out by translators to make
connections between Romantic literature, its preoccupations, and
debates in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial
worlds.
