Victorian Literature and Postcolonial Studies de Patrick Brantlinger

Victorian Literature and Postcolonial Studies: Postcolonial Literary Studies (Hardcover)

Autor Patrick Brantlinger
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2009 – vârsta de la 22 ani
This book examines the relationship between the British Empire and Victorian literature. It explains how Victorian literature both gave expression to pro-imperialist themes, and engaged with forms of opposition to the empire like abolitionism and early Indian nationalism. Victorian literature is analyzed in relation to key debates in postcolonial studies about Orientalism, race, gender, Marxism, subalterneity, imperial historiography, mimicry and representation. And there are in-depth examinations of works by major Victorian authors in an imperial context, notably those of Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, Disraeli, Tennyson, Yeats, Kipling and Conrad.

Recenzii

With clarity and economy, a broad vista of political, socio-cultural and geographical factors are viewed, combining perspectives on the imperial source material with the critiques offered by postcolonial reassessments -- aesthetic and ethical. Brantlinger's longstanding scholarly expertise in this area is adroitly condensed into a mere 180 pages ... this concise yet considerable scope is the work's strength and should see it become a necessary guide to an almost unmanageably complex area.
