Tracing Colonialism in 19th Century British Novels: Crimson Publishers

Tracing Colonialism in 19th Century British Novels by Farhana Haque in Research in C Medical & Engineering Sciences

The aim of this paper is to map out aspects of colonialism and embedded colonial spirit in the works of the Nineteenth century British novelists. To do so i have chosen three quintessential english novels, jane austen’s mans field park (1814), charlotte bronte’s jane eyre (1847), and its prequel wide sargasso sea (1966) written by jean rhys. These three novels from three different eras, the romantic period, the victorian period and the postcolonial modern times, therefore illustrated how literature can often be ingrained with supremacist ideologies and it can also be the means of resistance against the forces of colonialism. For example, in the novels jane eyre and mans field park we have seen how the identity of the colonizer was created with the help of the colonial money and how english imperial identity relied on the property earned through the means of slave trade in the caribbean islands. If we trace the history of british imperialism we could see the expansion of british colonies that were parallel with the british concern for a national identity, arising mostly in the eighteenth century. With the colonization of the caribbean islands and other subsequent british satellites, identity within the british empire became even more complex.
