Byron and Orientalism

在所有英國浪漫主義詩人中，拜倫經常被認為是最熟悉東方的人。據稱，他的旅行給了他一個巨大的優勢，像Southey，Moore，Shelley和Coleridge這樣擁有可比東方主義野心的同時代人無法參與競爭。

Of all the English Romantic poets Byron is often thought of as the one who was most familiar with the East. His travels, it is claimed, give him a huge advantage with which contemporaries like Southey, Moore, Shelley, and Coleridge, who had comparable orientalist ambitions, could not compete. Byron and Orientalism sets out to examine this thesis.

 It looks at Byron's knowledge of the East, and of its religions in particular, in greater detail than ever before. Essays are included on Byron's Turkish Tales, Edward Said's attitude to Byron, Byron's version of Islam, Byron's Hebrew Melodies, and Byron's influence on the orientalist writings of Pushkin and Lermontov. There is a massive introduction, setting Byron's eastern poetry in the contexts both of European literature, English literature, and the poet's own confused and disorientated existence.

'This is an extremely valuable - impressively diverse and genuinely multidisciplinary - collection of essays, which will be of great interest to a variety of audiences. The topic of Byron and Orientalism offers similarly rich potential and Peter Cochran brings a great wealth of expertise to bear on the subject in his substantial contributions to this volume.' James Watt, Liverpool University Press.
