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.' 410 0$aPostcolonial literary studies. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a820.9/358 676 $a820.9005 700 $aKaul$b Suvir$0873334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454374603321 996 $aEighteenth-century British literature and postcolonial studies$91949613 997 $aUNINA
