Description

This text seeks to reconstruct the colonial imagination of the 18th-century. By exploring the representations of peoples and cultures subjected to colonial discourse, the book makes a case for the agency - or the capacity to resist domination - of those oppressed. The author's analysis of texts that accompanied European commercial and imperial expansion reveals the development of anticolonial consciousness prior to the 19th-century. The book also exposes new relationships between literary representation and colonialism in the 18th-century, considering such texts as Behn's "Oroonoko", Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe", and Swift's "Gulliver's Travels."
