Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak critiques the imperialist narrative in 19th-century British literature, arguing that imperialism was central to the cultural representation of England. She highlights how feminist criticism often reproduces imperialist axioms, marginalizing non-Western voices. Spivak examines how Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea reflect and challenge imperialist structures. In Jane Eyre, Jane's individualism is tied to the imperialist project, while Wide Sargasso Sea reimagines Bertha Mason as a marginalized figure, critiquing imperialism's dehumanizing effects. Spivak also analyzes Frankenstein, noting its critique of imperialism and the ethical dilemmas of creating life. She contrasts the imperialist project with the feminist individualism of the 19th century, emphasizing the need to challenge dominant narratives. Spivak argues that imperialist discourse constructs the "native" as an Other, and that feminist critique must engage with this dynamic. She also discusses the role of colonial subjects in literature, highlighting the complexities of identity and representation. Spivak concludes that imperialist narratives must be critically reexamined to understand the broader implications of colonialism and its impact on literature and identity.Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak critiques the imperialist narrative in 19th-century British literature, arguing that imperialism was central to the cultural representation of England.
