520 British Romantic writers imagined the Polish exile as a
sympathetic wanderer whose homeland no longer existed and
the Russian as barbarous and ravenous. But in the
Victorian era both were seen as clever, deceitful citizens
of the world. This fascinating book restores the
significance of Eastern Europe to nineteenth-century
British literature, offering new readings of William
Blake's Europe, Lord Byron's Mazeppa, and George Eliot's
Middlemarch, and recovering influential works by Jane
Porter and Thomas Campbell. This study begins with
Catherine the Great and the eighteenth-century partition
of Poland, moves through a variety of texts inspired by
Polish freedom fighter Tadeusz Kosciuszko, and examines
the changing stereotypes that appeared as later uprisings
failed and new refugees arrived in Britain. Extending
recent scholarship on ethnicity, nationalism, and
cosmopolitanism, The Other East reveals the tropes that
shaped British opinion as the idealized Polish exile
gradually became the ambiguous Eastern immigrant, and
Russia became a serious challenge to the British Empire
