The Other East and Nineteenth-Century British Literature: Imagining Poland and the Russian Empire

The Polish exile and the Russian villain were familiar figures in nineteenth-century British culture. This book restores the significance of Eastern Europe to nineteenth-century British literature, offering new readings of Blake's Europe, Byron's Mazeppa, and Eliot's Middlemarch, and recovering influential works by Thomas Campbell and Jane Porter.
