What is, who stands for, and where exactly \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e the \"Orient\" in British Romantic poetry? To where does the \"Orient\" lead? \u003ci\u003eRomanticism and the Poetics of Orientation \u003c\/i\u003eresponds by tracing shifting orientations--cultural, geographical, aesthetic, racial, and gendered-- through Orientalist sites, subjects, and settings. Kim coins the term \"poetics of orientation\" to describe a poetics newly aware of cultural difference as a site of aesthetic contestation. She focuses on the contestation that occurs at the site of the lyric subject. A \"poetics of orientation\", rather than situating the lyric subject in assumed racial whiteness, repositions the lyric subject within discussions of Orientalism and racial formation, tracing the white supremacist logics that have for too long been dismissed as inessential or nonconsequential to Romantic studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45608298053783,"sku":"9781399511261","price":2765.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399511261.webp?v=1769294150","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/romanticism-and-the-poetics-of-orientation-9781399511261","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
