The relationships between literary discourse and colonial politics
have been the subject of much critical investigation since the
publication of Edward Said's orientalism. Yet although much has
been written about the forms these relationships took in the early
modern period and in the nineteenth century, the Romantic period
has been comparatively neglected. This volume sets out to redress
that imbalance by investigating Romantic writing in its
relationship to the peoples and places with which the British were
increasingly coming into contact. Topics examined include slavery,
race, climate, tropical disease, religion and commodity production;
a wide range of writers are discussed from Edmund Burke to Hannah
More, William Blake to Phyllis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano to Mary
Shelley, Thomas Clarkson to Lord Byron. Together the essays
constitute a broad assessment of Romanticism's engagement with
India, Africa, the West Indies, South America and the Middle East.
