The British Eighteenth Century and the Postcolonial Moment challenges reigning clichés about 'modernity'. It intervenes in debates within current literary theory by means of a close engagement with texts from the British eighteenth-century, viewing the latter as a resource for the contemporary postcolonial future. Indeed, rather than 'applying' postcolonial theory to eighteenth-century texts, the book instead refines postcolonial theory by using such eighteenth-century authors as Swift, Gay, Johnson, Sterne, and Equiano. The book will interest eighteenth-century scholars, historians of the Enlightenment, scholars of postcolonial fiction, and literary historians following in the wake of Michel Foucault and Edward Said.
