Weaving together literary, linguistic and cognitive analyses of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, illustrations and writings, socio-cultural investigations of the Orient, and rhetorical considerations about Arabian forms of writing, the terms of critical debate surrounding the East are redefined. It takes as a starting point Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) in order to investigate the latent and manifest traces of the East in Pre-Raphaelite literature and culture. As the book demonstrates, the Pre-Raphaelites and their associates appeared to be the most eligible representatives of a profoundly conservative manifestation of the Orient, of its mystic aura, criminal underworld, and feminine sensuality, or to put it into Arabic terms, of its aja'ib (marvels), mutalibun (treasure-hunters) and hur al-ayn (femmes fatales). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLooks at how selected examples of Pre-Raphaelite writings acted as major vehicles for raising awareness of cultural diversity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedefines the task of interpreting the East in the late nineteenth century taking as a starting point Edward Said's \u003ci\u003eOrientalism\u003c\/i\u003e (1978)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBy investigating the pervasive influence of \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/i\u003e on Pre-Raphaelite texts, this study aims at bringing together Western and Eastern forms of writing;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines the reasons why the writings by John Ruskin, D.G.

Strikingly independent in its insights, the book suggests how important Eastern culture was for the Pre-Raphaelites. New perceptions abound on every stylishly written page of this fine book.' Michael O'Neill, Durham University The Pre-Raphaelites and Orientalism redefines the task of interpreting the East in the late nineteenth century, weaving together literary, linguistic and cognitive analyses of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, illustrations and writings, socio-cultural investigations of the Orient, and rhetorical considerations about Arabian forms of writing.
