Heroes of Empire
The British Imperial
Protagonist
in America,
1596-1764
RICHARD FROHOCK
The British representation of America in
the colonial period is an unwieldy topic, and
scholars have fashioned various points of
focus for studies of imperialist discourse of the
Americas, including cannibalism, translation,
wonder, the figure of woman, the trop-
icopolitan, and the romance of the first
encounter. This book adds to the studies of
imperialist discourse by delineating in
unprecedented detail the evolution of the
British imperial hero from Sir Walter
Ralegh s Discoverie of the Large, Rich, and
Bewtiful
Empyre of Guiana
(1596)
to James
Grainger s The Sugar Cane
(1764),
with
concentration on narratives produced between
Cromwell s Western Design
(1655)
and the
British raid on Cartegena
(1741).
The book s concentration on the evolution
of the colonial protagonist allows for a
reassessment of the importance of the rhetoric
of conquest in British colonial apologetics and
enables the delineation of significant colonial
topoi
as they are transferred, modified, and
rejected over time. As the image of the
nobleman leading heroic conquests gradually
gave way to images of the scientist, the
merchant, and the industrious planter, writers
of the period authorized appropriation and
dominion and defined heroic imperialist
work in evolving and competing forms.
The introduction defines the parameters of
the book and offers a brief consideration of
the feminization of the Americas. Chapter
1,
The British Conqueror in America, surveys
key representations of British military
conquest in the New World and argues
that the language of heroic conquest
constitutes a foundational rhetoric in
British discourse about empire in
America. Chapter
2,
Aphra Behn s
America, argues that in their New World
fictions Aphra Behn and Thomas Southerne
reveal the unsuitability and anachronism of
pure heroic codes of conduct in the colonies
and offer instead protagonists who bridge
heroic and capitalist worlds. Chapter
3,
Science and Conquest, illustrates the
creation and promotion of the scientist as new
imperialist hero who can replace the
conqueror; writers covered include Thomas
Sprat and William Dampier. Chapter
4,
Labor and Conquest, illustrates how several
writers, from John Locke to Daniel Defoe,
seek to replace military conquest with
agricultural labor as the quintessentially
British, and most legitimate, method of
appropriation. After the delineation of these
several versions of colonial protagonists in
chapters
1-4,
chapter
5,
The Satire of
Conquest, turns to the dissenting voices of
eighteenth-century satirists who attack
colonial rationales by creating mock
imperialist heroes, inverting well-established
binaries, parodying colonial motifs, and
exposing the gap between colonial
representation and experience. The epilogue
reviews the main types of the colonial hero
covered in preceding chapters by means of a
close study of the planter-hero in James
Grainger s The Sugar Cane
(1764).
a major
literary representation of a hybrid colonial
protagonist written when the specter of
colonial independency had appeared on the
horizon.
