Fables of the East
Author: Ros Ballaster
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191556173
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Fables of the East is the first anthology to provide textual examples of representations of oriental cultures in the early modern period drawn from a variety of genres: travel writing, histories, and fiction. Organized according to genre in order to illustrate the diverse shapes the oriental tale adopted in the period, the extracts cover the popular sequence of oriental tales, the pseudo-oriental tale, travels and history, and letter fictions. Authors represented range from the familiar - Joseph Addison, Horace Walpole, Montesquieu, Oliver Goldsmith - to authors of great popularity in their own time who have since faded in reputation such as James Ridley, Alexander Dow, and Eliza Haywood. The selection has been devised to call attention to the diversity in the ways that different oriental cultures are represented to English readers. Readers of this anthology will be able to identify a contrast between the luxury, excess, and sexuality associated with Islamic Turkey, Persia, and Mughal India and the wisdom, restraint, and authority invested in Brahmin India and Confucian China. Fables of the East redraws the cultural map we have inherited of the eighteenth century, demonstrating contemporary interest in gentile and 'idolatrous' religions, in Confucianism and Buddhism especially, and that the construction of the Orient in the western imagination was not exclusively one of an Islamic Near and Middle East. Ros Ballster's introduction addresses the importance of the idea of 'fable' to traditions of narrative and representations of the East. Each text is accompanied by explanatory head and footnotes, also provided is a glossary of oriental terms and places that were familiar to the texts' eighteenth-century readers.

Byron and Translation
Author: Maria Schoina
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1835538118
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This collection of essays offers an image of Byron not only as a poet – for which he is best known – but as a translator of foreign literature and culture. To recover this underexplored element of Byron’s work, the contributors examine his translated pieces in both textual and extra-textual contexts, including analysis of manuscripts, composition history, publishing history, and other literary and historical factors. They explore the motives behind Byron’s choice to translate in the first place, as well as reconstructing the translational methods he applied, and his ideas on translation and the role of the translator in general. The book focuses too on Byron’s ‘geographical mobility’, which also involved the act of translation, though in a metaphorical sense. The cosmopolitan poet mediated and interpreted all the time: foreign cultures, behaviours, modes of living, customs and habits. In this sense, translation becomes for the poet a dynamic ‘movement’ between languages, across texts and around various contexts, offering Byron a vital space for the articulation of his ideas. Byron’s translation work reminds us how Romantic writers and readers sought to learn about and engage with the wider world and its various languages.
