Literary Criticism. Arabian stories have stirred the imagination of British poets since Chaucer's day. In the tales of Scheherazade, too, lie some of the origins of genres such as the novel, detective, and science fiction. The Eastern storehouse has also supplied images of widely different attitudes: patriarchal, suffragette, imperialist, and revolutionary. Christian and otherwise.
This unique collection of studies, and experts on children's books (and their illustrators). Orientalism, folklore, and English literature have collaborated to chart an influence that has played a vital role in the dreams of the Romantics, Victorian realism, and the problematic vision of the twentieth-century avant-gardes. The authors covered in these studies include Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Scott, Keats, Austen. De Quincey. Dickens. Thackeray, Gaskell, the Brontës. Wilkie Collins, Le Fanu, Stevenson, Meredith, Darwin. Huxley, Henry James, Chesterton, Wells, Conrad, Joyce, W. B. Yeats. Kipling. Freud, the Woolfs. Herbert Read. Wyndham Lewis, C. S. Lewis, de la Mare. Empson, Graham Greene, David Jones, Samuel Beckett. Doris Lessing and Michael Moorcock.
