Reviews
“Colonial Fantasies is an excellent contribution to the understanding of German colonialism and its representational regimes.”—John K. Noyes, University of Cape Town
“Susanne Zantop has already established herself as one of the leading scholars in eighteenth and nineteenth-century German literature and culture, and it is no surprise that her long-awaited book is so compelling. Her historically informed study of German fantasies. . . breaks new ground at the intersections of literature, philosophy, and the ‘political unconscious’.”—W. Daniel Wilson, University of California
