Abstract
Abstract One of the more interesting trends in literary criticism today is the application of discourse analysis and feminist critical theory to the investigation of colonial literatures. By considering the literary representations of women’s history in light of these two approaches, some recent feminist critics attempt to unravel the complexities of women’s involvement in British imperial history. Implicit in this attempt is the comparison of Western literary (mis)representation of the Orient with male literary (mis)representation of women, a comparison complicated by some Victorian women’s concomitant involvement in both British imperialism and the feminist political battles of the late 1800s.
