Book Description
Excerpt from An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem Hese letters do not claim to be a psycho logical study of Turkish character, nor are they a political or historical treatise. They are only an Englishwoman's impressions of Turkish harem life, written during a very happy and in teresting visit amongst Turkish friends. Should I not have said in these letters what my Turkish sisters expected me to say; should I not have understood their civilization as they hoped I would understand it; I feel sure they will forgive one who they know has always been, and will always be their sincere friend. To correct. The errors, prejudice, and hatred which have become almost part of the British national attitude towards Turkey is not an easy task. If these letters have been able in ever so small a way to spread some of the enthusiasm and love I feel for a nation which Europe has so severely censured, they will at least have justified the reason of their existence. My thanks are due to the editor of the Daily T elegmp/z for allowing me to reproduce those letters which have appeared in the columns of.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 3 In order to localise-the different tales, I have endeavoured to adopt to a certain degree the' florid and figurative style of language m which the Orientals so much delight, and so constantly indulge; while I have been careful neither to caricature their habits nor their opinions; but to 'confine myself as closely as possible to the actions and feelings of every-day Turkish life; and to fling off, if I may so express it, all idea of authorship, to identify myself for the time with the individuals of whom I wrote.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 2 Tan flattering success of my late work on Turkey has induced me to ofi'er to the public the present collection of Oriental Fictims; which are genuine tales related by the professional Mmald he or story-tellers of the East, in the harems of the wealthy Tur dur ing seasons of festivity, and particularly in that of the Ramazan. In the selection which I have made, I have, throughout the whole work, 'carefully avoided the supernatural, save in one solita? In stance, where the allegory was so talented and tempting that felt it would require no apol with any class of readers; preferring, in every other case, a life rlre and probable chain of circumstances. To a brilliant and impossible picture. Hence my fictions neither borrow power from the Genii, terror from the Ghouls, nor grace and beauty rom the Peris; they treat only of ordinary men and we men; but individuals placed in positions, and actuated by feelings, almost unknown in Europe.

Book Description
In Orientalism, Eroticism and Modern Visuality in Global Cultures scholars look afresh at representations of nineteenth-century ?oriental? bodies, inquiring deeply into their erotic dimensions, tracing their global dissemination at cross-cultural intersections of the visual and the political. Authors consider the impact of eroticized orientalist representations registered on racial and gendered bodies at historical moments across the globe in the media of photography, painting, prints and sculpture by contextualizing the visual within social practices, ethnography, literature, travel writing and the dynamics of imperialism. Authors examine orientalism?s politico-erotic import across not only imperial Britain and France but also throughout India and the Middle East initiating cross-cultural analyses of orientalism outside of Europe. Works studied include Orientalist and homoerotic works by canonic artists such as Ingres, G?me, Delacroix and Girodet, and lesser-known artists such as sculptor Raffaele Monti and painter Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann. Contributors explore Turkish and European writings, explorer Richard Burton?s self-fashioning, and popular Orientalist photography in India and the Middle East. Authors draw on methods from gender studies, semiotics, material culture and psychoanalysis to explore art, national identity, homoerotic subcultures, female agency, class, sexuality and colonialism. The book is directed to interdisciplinary scholars and students in art history, literature, history, and postcolonial studies.
