Introduction : the cultural work of empire -- Lunacy in the cosmopolis (1759) : expansion and imperial recoil -- Patriot games : military masculinity and the recompense of virtue -- Pricksongs in gotham : or, the sexual oeconomy of state imagining -- Friendship, slavery and the politics of pity, including a visit from Phyllis Wheatley -- Women's time and work-discipline : or, the secret history of 'Poor Maria' -- 'Bramin, Bramine' : Sterne, Eliza Draper and the passage to India -- Concluding along Shandean lines
This work argues that the Seven Years' War (1756-63) produced both an intense historial consciousness within British cultural life regarding the boundaries of belonging to community, family and nation, and a radical re-imagining of the state and the subjectivities of those who inhabit it
