Mercantilism controls the relations between the leading power and the colonies under its empire. A nation would want to export more than it imports gaining more money to obtain economic stability.

Imperial Resistance in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone All quotations taken from Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone. Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1986. Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone has been read as an archetypal piece of imperial propaganda, and yet it seems to lend itself to an alternate reading in which it represents a distinct challenge to the colonial mindset.

transported?’ Postcolonialism and Peter Carey’s Jack Maggs In Decolonising Fictions, theorists Diana Brydon and Helen Tiffin claim that postcolonial writers create texts that ‘write back’ against imperial fictions and question the values once taken for granted by the once dominant Anglocentric discourse of the imperial epicentre. In Jack Maggs the process of ‘writing back’ is well illustrated. As in Jean Rhy’s Wide Sargasso Sea , the colonial ‘other’ character from a canonised Victorian novel becomes the

The abandoned mine down between the hills hidden out of site, not even marked on maps, carries a reputation of horror and mysterious events. Only the bravest of the brave even consider entering the abandoned mine since the only thing that has left it are stories of what happens beyond its entrance. The mine has been abandoned for 80 years, and whatever goes into that place never comes out. Although these stories should be enough to keep me far away from that mine, I let my curiosity get the best
Vacations with my dad began like ritual; the ceremonial collecting of every brochure and pamphlet in sight and the eventual sacrifice of our down time by meticulous scheduling that filled every second of our trip with some or the other activity.

They had laid out every single brochure on the counter, and
