| Research Abstract |
This project examines the problems in which the British Empire was enmeshed in the first half of the nineteenth century when she was paving the way to imperialism and facing various "others"("other cultures") in the homeland as well as colonial outposts. It considers these early nineteenth-century problems as caused by an emergent and early form of global movement that covers political, economic, and cultural spheres and which we now term globalization. By focusing on significant cases provided by S.T. Coleridge, P. B. Shelley, John Keats, Augustus Earle and John Lewin, the project discerns an important relationship between the problems the age of British Romanticism as involved in and those we are facing in the modern post-colonial age, and furnishes some useful hints to those problems by scrutinizing the processes in which "nature" and "culture" were (de)mystified, commercialized and commodified in the encounter between European and non-European cultures.
