Forum on South Asian and South Asian Diasporic Literatures
Keats-Shelley Association of America
This session addresses the importance of the transnational turn in literary studies and of postcolonial theory to an understanding of British Romanticism as both a historical period and an aesthetic category. Panelists discuss early nineteenth-century representations of South Asia and then the formation of Romanticism in the imperial public sphere and its discourses of orientalism, cosmopolitanism, and globalism.
