Shelley and the Development of English Imperialism
This work locates Shelley in the context of England's colonial venture in British India. It also ties together several, seemingly disparate late-18th/early 19th-century discourses on British India, and illustrates how those discourses were later enlisted to serve the Imperialism of the English Raj.
