{"product_id":"restoration-orientalism-von-haitham-saab","title":"Restoration Orientalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the complex representation of the Oriental Turk in Restoration serious drama, as embodying new perceptions of  the \"Other.\" First, the theoretical approach  which is largely informed  by the study of historical contexts, is definet.  In the  second chapter light is shed on the Ottoman decline during the seventeenth century and its effect on English attitudes towards the Turk in Restoration  literature.  The third  chapter explores the dominant theatrical form in  the  Restoration,  the heroic genre, which provides a novel  representation of the Oriental world. Chapter four focuses on Davenant''s heroic play, The Siege of Rhodes (1656 and 1661), and its dual representation of the Turk as both Other and similar. Chapters five and  six are devoted to the discussion of other Oriental heroic plays, Roger Bolye''s Mustapha (1665) and Mary Pix''s Ibrahim(1696), which combine conventional and heroic tropes of  representation. Finally, Chapter seven is concerned with a group of plays mainly representing the Orient as humanised and similar to the European and hence symbolising a completed stage in, what I argue, is a process of cultural assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838348667\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe representation of Turks in Serious Drama: 1660-1700\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838348667","offer_id":39469249462365,"sku":"9783838348667","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ef6f4370-e8e5-4f4f-b4b2-2a5be718fb7a.jpg?v=1776319751","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/restoration-orientalism-von-haitham-saab","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
