Description
Originally published in 1906, this scholarly examination explores the oriental tale tradition in eighteenth-century England, tracing the influence of Eastern narratives on English literary culture. The book analyses foundational works including the Arabian Nights, Johnson's Rasselas, Goldsmith's Citizen of the World, and Beckford's Vathek, revealing how these seemingly disparate texts embodied a cohesive orientalizing movement. This volume contextualises oriental and pseudo-oriental fiction within the broader scope of English Romanticism, demonstrating how Eastern influences shaped imaginative literature of the period. Routledge's revival edition makes this historically significant study accessible to modern scholars, literary historians, and students interested in cross-cultural literary exchange, orientalism, and the development of English fiction during a formative era.
