 | | Fair Exotics: Xenophobic Subjects in British Literature, 1720-1850, by Rajani Sudan. |
 | | Rajani Sudan's Fair Exotics: Xenophobic Subjects in British Literature, 1720-1850 insightfully extends a growing body of criticism that examines the shaping force ideas about the Other (national, colonial, gendered) exerts on British literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly Daniel Defoe, Samuel Johnson, Thomas De Quincey, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley and Charlotte Bronte. |
 | | Somewhat less successfully, the book participates in (without discussing) another movement that seeks to extend the romantic period back into the eighteenth century, by arguing that romantic patterns of imagining the colonial and gendered other--and by extension the subject--can be traced back to Robinson Crusoe. |
