Inhaltsangabe

This book traces the emergence of new forms of imperialism and capitalism as part of a culture of modernisation in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. It looks at the ways in which they were identified with and contested in Romanticism, through original readings of texts by Wordsworth, Blake, Byron, Shelley, and Scott.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'An original and brilliant interpretation of Romanticism which will have a significant impact on the way culture and imperialism are conceptualized. This invaluable contribution has the potential to alter our view of Romanticism, and speaks equally forcefully to scholars working in other fields, such as postcolonial theory, Victorian studies, cultural studies, literary theory, and materialist criticism.' Gauri Viswanathan, Columbia University

'A brilliant, impressive body of work.' Wordsworth Circle

'Makdisi's timely study offers a powerfully lucid theoretical strategy for placing Romanticism within the frame of imperialism.' Romanticism
