Description

Explore the fascinating history of oriental and pseudo-oriental fiction through this Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1906, this scholarly work examines how Eastern themes influenced English literature during the eighteenth century. The text investigates various works written in English or translated from French, providing a clear look at the orientalizing tendency that shaped literary trends. Readers will find detailed analysis of major literary landmarks, including the Arabian Nights, Dr. Johnson's Rasselas, Goldsmith's Citizen of the World, and Beckford's Vathek. Rather than viewing these as isolated stories, this volume presents them as significant manifestations of a much larger movement within English Romanticism. It is an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of historical literature who want to understand the cultural connections between the East and the West during this era.
