Abstract

 
This study examines postcolonial Romanticism. It is a critical approach using love to converge postcolonialism and Romanticism. It explores a postcolonial version of love which did not get much attention though the eighteenth-century Romantics portrayed in their literature. It was not the ideal love of the early pure childhood sketched out in the Romantics' Songs of Innocence. Rather, it is the love which follows and goes beyond  the pure love of childhood. This unique love could be called as “the postcolonial love" existing in a phase of man's life; the “true innocence". In this phase, man is released from the ideal innocence of childhood. In Pilgrims Way (1988), the love relationship between the protagonists; namely the black Tanzanian Daud, and the white English Catherine Mason makes them, unlike the rest of the characters, reach the phase of “true innocence", and become lover pilgrims. 
Key Words: Experience, Innocence, Pilgrim, Postcolonialism, Romanticism.
