Download or read book Technologies of Empire written by Dermot Ryan and published by University of Delaware. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies of Empire reshapes post-colonial scholarship of the long eighteenth century by exploring the ways in which post-enlightenment authors employ writing and imagination to produce rather than simply represent empire. Challenging the assumption that the first imaginings of coordinated global empires occur in the later nineteenth century, this study argues that authors ranging from Adam Smith, Edmund Burke to William Wordsworth conceive of imagination and writing as technologies that can conceptualize and consolidate the new forms of empire they see emerging.
