Description

This Routledge scholarly study examines how the Thousand and One Nights transformed when it entered European culture in 1704, exploring the radical shift in how its stories were interpreted and understood across different cultural contexts. The book investigates the dynamic relationship between literature and its readers, demonstrating how meaning evolves as audiences and societies change. Through detailed analysis of the Nights' metamorphosis from Eastern classic to Western literary phenomenon, the work offers fresh insights into how classic texts are reinterpreted through the lens of foreign cultures. Part of the Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures series, this volume bridges folklore scholarship with literary theory, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the transmission of Eastern literature to Western audiences or the cultural forces that reshape canonical works across time and geography.
