This ambitious 1999 book argues that England's seventeenth- and eighteenth-century culture was saturated by the experiences of colonialism. Using theories of space to ground his readings, Bruce McLeod skilfully explores how Spenser, Milton, Aphra Behn, Mary Rowlandson, Defoe and Swift imagine, interrogate and narrate the adventure and geography of empire.
