From heritage tourism and costume dramas to theories of the imperial idea(l): empire sells. Post-Empire Imaginaries? Anglophone Literature, History, and the Demise of Empires presents innovative scholarship on the lives and legacies of empires in diverse media such as literature, film, advertising, and the visual arts. Though rooted in real space and history, the post-empire and its twin, the post-imperial, emerge as ungraspable ideational constructs. The volume convincingly establishes empire as welcoming resistance and affirmation, introducing post-empire imaginaries as figurations that connect the archives and repertoires of colonial nostalgia, postcolonial critique, post-imperial dreaming. 410 0$aCross/Cultures$v182/19. 606 $aCommonwealth literature (English)$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9 702 $aBuchenau$b Barbara 702 $aRichter$b Virginia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827538603321 996 $aPost-empire imaginaries$93983638 997 $aUNINA
