Forum on South Asian and South Asian Diasporic Literatures

This session addresses the importance of the transnational turn in literary studies and of postcolonial theory to an understanding of British Romanticism as both a historical period and an aesthetic category. Panelists discuss early nineteenth-century representations of South Asia and then the formation of Romanticism in the imperial public sphere and its discourses of orientalism, cosmopolitanism, and globalism.
