Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n Re-examining nineteenth-century Eastscontributes novel approaches to gendered and gendering fictions and travel writing in and of the cultural-geographical-ideological contexts surrounding nineteenth-century Easts. It examines underexplored stories of travel and narratives of encounter to reconsider the western allure of travelling to the Easts – from the Balkans to the Middle and Far East, through a range of diverse critical approaches. It discusses writers – travellers, novelists, and short-story writers – who authored texts based on their varied experiences in eastern lands. It also analyses how views of eastern places became a rich source of material for identity formations related to Empire but also discussions about masculinity and femininity at ‘home’.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   From the Back Cover   \u003cp\u003eThree decades after the ground-breaking work of critics like Sara Mills, Billie Melman and Reina Lewis, Re-examining nineteenth-century Easts brings together international scholars to reassess and revitalise the gendered and gendering debates associated with nineteenth-century ‘East’ or, rather, ‘Easts’ as the editors suggest in this volume. \u003cbr\u003eThe chapters renew an interest in issues of representation as they cover a century of literary imaginaries and non-fictional accounts about Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India, China, South-East Asia, and Japan. More importantly, they draw on a wide range of thematic and conceptual foci: landscape, race, identity, politics, social class, domestic life, science, religion and visual arts. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on various critical and methodological approaches – from colonial discourse analysis to postcolonial theory, poetics to the geohumanities, theories of the body and affect to identity politics – the chapters study and critically update formations of gender in relation to sites and lives considered ‘Other’ and ‘East’ of the nineteenth-century British world. \u003cbr\u003eThanks to its provocative critical framework, its analyses of lesser-studied authors and its innovative, interdisciplinary reconceptualisation of the Easts, the volume moves forward a debate that has ongoing social and critical relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e           About the Author   \u003cp\u003eClaudia Capancioni is Professor of English Literature at Lincoln Bishop University, UK\u003cbr\u003eMariaconcetta Costantini is Professor of English Literature at G. d’Annunzio University, Chieti-Pescara, Italy\u003cbr\u003eJulia Kuehn is Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands\u003c\/p\u003e                                           ","brand":"Claudia Capancioni, Julia Kuehn, Mariaconcetta Costantini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070414147818,"sku":"9781526184429","price":136.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/91G6yX-aA6L._SL1500.jpg?v=1781261018","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/re-examining-nineteenth-century-easts-gendered-narratives-of-encounter-interventions-rethinking-the-nineteenth-century","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
