Colonialism, and Connoisseurship Gender and Eighteenth-century Literary Transnationalism Slavery

Rereading late eighteenth-century British literature as a stage for the articulation of theories of difference and domination, Nandini Bhattacharya here examines the works of such writers as Richard Brinsley Sheridan, George Colman Jr., James Cobb, and Phillis Wheatley. She explores the circumatlantic redefinition of Taste and Value as cultural and moral concepts in gender and racial discourses in slave-owning, colonizing and connoisseurial Britain, and demonstrates how values and aesthetics were redefined in late eighteenth-century England.
