| Book Description | The first of its kind, this companion charts out the genesis, evaluation and the present scenario of a fascinating aspect of English literary studies – Literary Orientalism, a largely unacknowledged and little-known subfield of English literature. It seeks to answer questions such as: What is Literary Orientalism? What does it signify? What are its constituents? Who are its practitioners? What is its scope and relevance? It lists bibliographical details of around 300 critical studies, 900 articles and conference presentations and 400 Ph. D dissertations on the broad contours of Literary Orientalism. Also, it brings into sharper focus the contributions of 45 select British men of letters like Chaucer, Shakespeare, Byron, Shelley, Yeats and Doris Lessing to this strand of English studies.
