Bøger af Charlotte Sussman

Reading texts by Goldsmith, Malthus, Milton, Scott, Mary Shelley, Swift, and others, in the context of debates about scientific innovation, emigration, cultural memory, and colonial settlement, Charlotte Sussman traces a shift in thinking about population and mobility in Britain over the course of the long eighteenth century.

This book asks why boycotts as a mode of political protest have proved so influential over the past 200 years, and why they were particularly useful in anticolonial struggles. It answers these questions through new readings of literary works by Jonathan Swift, Tobias Smollett, and others, as well as through political and economic discourses connected with consumer culture and colonialism.
