British imperial regulations with the American colonies were closely tied in with the system of mercantilism. 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.

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
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.

In recent months, my thoughts have begun to stray and wonder what other options are out there. I have always enjoyed the freedom that boxers can offer, however boxer briefs provide a more secure feel that is sometimes required in an undergarment.
