Author Robbie Richardson argues that depictions of "Indians" in British literature were used to critique and articulate evolving ideas about consumerism, colonialism, "Britishness," and, ultimately, the "modern self" over the course of the century. Considering the ways in which British writers represented contact between Britons and "Indians," both at home and abroad, the author shows how these sites of contact moved from a self-affirmation of British authority earlier in the century, to a mutual corruption, to a desire to appropriate perceived traits of "Indianess." Looking at texts exclusively produced in Britain, The Savage and Modern Self reveals that "the modern" finds definition through imagined scenes of cultural contact. By the end of the century, Richardson concludes, the hybrid Indian-Brition emerging in literature and visual culture exemplifies a form of modern, British masculinity."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a National characteristics, British, in literature. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Indians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969419 650 7 $a National characteristics, British, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033382 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305060248.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212012028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A425708E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
