Culture and Imperialism

''Readers accustomed to the precision and elegance of Edward Said''s analytical prowess will not be disappointed . . . Those discovering Said for the first time will be profoundly impressed'' Toni Morrison Following his profoundly influential study Orientalism, Edward W. Said turned his attention to the Western world, tracing the connections between imperialism and European art, literature and music. From Jane Austen to Salman Rushdie, from Yeats to media coverage of the Gulf War, Culture and Imperialism initiates a dialogue between culture and the political and economic fabric of its time. Vast in its scope and stunning in its erudition, this collection of essays remains as urgent today as it was on first publication.
