Sydney Owenson’s early novels, The Wild Irish Girl: a National Tale (1806), Woman or: Ida of Athens (1809) and The Missionary: an Indian Tale (1811), displace the question of imperialist violence onto the narration of a passionate albeit contentious romantic encounter between a privileged colonial male traveller and a colonised, indigenous woman. This paper argues that her manipulation of the Romance trope and construction of “national character” (which is comparable to the way Mme De Staël creates her fictional heroines) inscribe a dynamic, productive tension between discourses of nationalism, universalism and cosmopolitanism.Les premiers romans de Sydney Owenson, The Wild Irish Girl: a National Tale (1806), Woman or: Ida of Athens (1809) ...
