    摘要、提要註: India was the object of intense sympathetic concern during the Romantic period. But what was the true nature of imaginative engagement with British India in the seminal years between 1770 and 1830? This innovative new study explores how a range of authors, from Edmund Burke and Sir William Jones to Robert Southey and Thomas Moore, sought to come to terms with India's strangeness, mystique and sheer geographical distance from Britain. This book explores the contradictions and complexities entailed in the colonial encounter, which it argues were mediated through imaginative sympathy and the related discourses of sensibility and sentimentalism. It offers specialists and the general reader alike a distinctive retelling of Britain's dealings with India and draws on recent critical interest in sympathy, colonialism and Romantic Orientalism.
