Fabulous Orients : Fictions Of The East In England, 1662- 1785

- Publisher description
Description
Through analyses of fictional representations (including travelers’ accounts, letter narratives such as Letters Writ by a Turkish Spy, and popular sequences of tales such as the Arabian Nights Entertainments) of four oriental territories (Persia, Turkey, China and India), Ros Ballaster demonstrates the ways in which the East came to be understood as a source of story, a territory of fable and narrative. The book goes on to explore the range of fabulous writings relating to each territory in order to illustrate how certain narrative tropes can come to dominate its representation: the conflict between the male look and female speech staged in the seraglio in the case of Turkey and Persia, the inauthenticity and/or dullness associated with China and its products such as porcelain, and the illusory dreams that are woven in the space of India and associated with its textile industries.

It traces the origins of Western stereotypes in history and in Hollywood, examines the phenomenon of ?yellow fever,’ then goes on a reality tour of Asia’s go-go bars, middle-class homes, college campuses, business districts, and corridors of power, providing intimate profiles of women’s lives and vivid portraits of the human side of an Asia we usually mythologize too well to really understand.
