This course explores literary representations of the Other in nineteenth century Britain. By “Other” we consider the intersecting categories of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, with our examples including specific locations such as Antigua, Barbados, China, etc. We begin with Jane Austen, consider Mary Shelley and George Eliot, and end with Charles Dickens, and primarily focus on canonical texts and/or writers and how they represent or reflect the changes in Britain’s relationship with the Other and with its Empire. From Austen’s Antiguan underpinnings of British society to Shelley’s racialized monstrosity and Eliot’s sojourner to the West Indies, as well as Dickens’s engagement with opium use, we investigate the way in which Empire informs and shapes the (early) nineteenth-century British novel. In the process, we attempt to take the lessons of post-colonial studies and use them to deconstruct Western literary conceptions of the Other.
