- explore the intersection between imperialism and Malthusianism in the Romantic period.
- discuss how Mansfield Park (1814) and The Last Man (1826) address imperialism and Malthusianism at the level of content, and you will analyse the formal and generic means through which these two novels negotiate questions of population.
- reflect on Malthusian afterlives.
