Caption:

Discusses fictional encounters between Europeans and purportedly “savage” people in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature, arguing that these fictions illuminate debates about sovereignty, violence, and political community. Examines works by Thomas Hobbes, Margaret Cavendish, Aphra Behn, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, and Eliza Haywood.
