Hogarthian whores and Grub Street hacks, coffee houses and fashionable pastimes, and the burgeoning of print culture all stand revealed as intimately bound to portents of plantation insurgency, agitation for abolition, and the vast fortunes produced by the labouring bodies of the poor, the colonized, and the enslaved. Eighteenth-century studies has never appeared in a more engaged and fascinating light.'Postcolonial literary studies.English literature18th centuryHistory and criticismImperialism in literaturePostcolonialismElectronic books.English literatureHistory and criticism.Imperialism in literature.Postcolonialism.820.9/358820.9005Kaul Suvir873334MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454374603321Eighteenth-century British literature and postcolonial studies1949613UNINA
