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 650 0 English literature|y19th century|xHistory and criticism 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / European / Eastern (see also Russian & Former Soviet Union).|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / European / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / General.|2bisacsh 651 0 Europe, Eastern|xIn literature 655 4 Electronic books 710 2 Palgrave Connect (Online Service) 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcLean, Thomas, 1965-|tOther East and nineteenth-century British literature.|dNew York : Palgrave Macmillan, 2012|z9780230294004|w(DLC) 2011044508 |w(OCoLC)748328739 856 40 |3Palgrave Connect|uhttp://www.palgraveconnect.com/ doifinder/10.1057/9780230355217 912 Palgrave|b110104114615
