Abstract in English
This paper proposes to examine the role of the English aristocracy in
the colonial process and in empire building as shown in The Caxtons, a
novel written by the nineteenth-century novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton
and published in 1849. The novel will be contextualized within a larger
framework of other literary and non-literary texts.
