This dissertation examines literary and critical responses to the growing domination of power in modernity and the emergence of resistance against various modes of power. Michel Foucault says that power is everywhere, it is constantly growing in domination, and is always complicitous with resistance. By returning to Foucault's oeuvre together with critical discussions on his writings and seminal works in English literature, I re-examine Foucault's framework of power and forms of resistance from eighteenth century to the present time in the light of slavery, colonialism, race, citizenship, abnormality, and state's biopolitics. I critique sovereign and disciplinary powers along with biopower through the lens of contemporary critical discussions and the literary works of resistance writers-Jonathan Swift, Olaudah Equiano, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, and Toni Morrison-to show the emergence of resistance within the marginalized and subaltern groups against hegemonistic powers from the eighteenth century to the present age. The study explores the pivotal role of literature, especially resistance narratives, in the formation of resistance, shaping sites of critique, alternative perspectives, and counter-viewpoints to the official discourses of power.
