Radical Orientalism: Rights, Reform, and Romanticism - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism
Cohen-Vrignaud, Gerard (University of Tennessee)
This fascinating study explores why ideas of the East mattered to Romantic writers, including Byron and the Shelleys, as well as their readers, political reformers and working-class activists. Imagining and invoking the Muslim world helped radicals to formulate their opposition to electoral disenfranchisement, police repression, and economic exploitation in Britain.
