Explains how key theoretical concerns of postcolonial studies - imaginary geography, Otherness & difference and cultural hybridity - have dramatically changed our understanding of Romantic literatureo Demonstrates how selected texts, in a range of genres, are illuminated by postcolonial criticismo Includes a bibliographical essay along with an up-to-date bibliography of criticism, editions of primary works and selected historical materials
