Orienting Virtue: Civic Identity and Orientalism in Britain’s Global Eighteenth Century
Bethany Williamson
Bringing together two threads of eighteenth-century scholarship - republican civic identity and the mythic legacy of the freeborn Briton and how England’s global encounters were shaped by orientalist fantasies - Orienting Virtue examines how England’s sense of collective virtue was inflected and informed by Eastern empires.
