This essay is designed to examine Windsor Forest in relation to the poem's celebration of the Treaty of Utrecht. Macherey argues that a text is characterized by gaps, absences, and silences; the critic has to locate the points at which gaps and contradictions arise in the text; and he must make the silences speak. This essay will examine the poem by focussing on making the gaps and silences in the poem speak of the absent dimension.
In Windsor Forest, Pope celebrates the peace and plenty of the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713, but he does not mention the Asientos of the Treaty which gave England a monopoly in the West Indian slave trade. Pope also does not mention that the Indians freed from Spain became slaves to England. His use of synecdoche works to conceal the problem of imperialism. For example, the oak synecdoche represents the English navy. Because the navy appears in the forest image, imperialism is nicely concealed. England's cannons, main weapons of English imperial conquest, also appear only in its sound of "Thunder" in the poem. Thus, the real fact of imperial war is separated from the Treaty, and the problem of imperialism is dismembered. Moreover, he expresses in the poem Augustanism which stands for great civilization, but his Augustanism turns out to be an excuse for imperialism. In this sense, Pope seems to attempt to rationalize imperialism in the name of peace.
In conclusion, Pope tries to justify the imperialist myth in the name of peace and liberty, and hopes for Pax Britannica. Thus, he intentionally reverses the terms, and so war becomes peace, slavery liberty, and exploitation prosperity. Windsor Forest partakes of the historical process of justifying the imperial myth in the name of peace or Augustanism. The contradictions and gaps in the poem, however, expose that imperialism is violence itself and the peace of Utrecht means war and slavery for the subject people.
