Islam as Imagined in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century English Literature de Clinton Bennett

Islam as Imagined in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century English Literature: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

Autor Clinton Bennett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 noi 2022
Since medieval times, English literature has often demonized Muslims. The term ‘Islamophobia’ is recent, but the phenomenon is old. This survey of literature focusing on the modern period up to 1914 identifies negative ideas about Islam in novels and plays. Some works are iconic, some more obscure. However, the book highlights writers who challenged stereotypes and tended to see Muslims as equally capable of virtue and vice as Christians and others. The book deals with the role of the imagination in depicting others and how this serves authors’ agendas. The conclusion brings the book’s thesis into dialogue with the debate in the USA today between supporters of multiculturalism and its critics. Anyone interested in how stereotypes are formed, perpetuated and can be challenged will profit from this book. It is aimed at a non-specialist readership.
