Alimentary Orientalism
Author: Yin Yuan
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1684484685
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
What, exactly, did tea, sugar, and opium mean in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain? Alimentary Orientalism reassesses the politics of Orientalist representation by examining the contentious debates surrounding these exotic, recently popularized, and literally consumable things. It suggests that the interwoven discourses sparked by these commodities transformed the period’s literary Orientalism and created surprisingly self-reflexive ways through which British writers encountered and imagined cultural otherness. Tracing exotic ingestion as a motif across a range of authors and genres, this book considers how, why, and whither writers used scenes of eating, drinking, and smoking to diagnose and interrogate their own solipsistic constructions of the Orient. As national and cultural boundaries became increasingly porous, such self-reflexive inquiries into the nature and role of otherness provided an unexpected avenue for British imperial subjectivity to emerge and coalesce.

Polly
Author: M. C. Beaton
Publisher: Rosetta Books
ISBN: 0795319797
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
A flirtation across the social divide may lead to lasting love—or betrayal—in this sparkling Edwardian romance by the New York Times–bestselling author. Polly Marsh wasn’t born into high society, but she has high ambitions—and confidence that her beauty is enough to land a dashing nobleman. Taking a position as a stenographer for a prestigious family firm, she soon finds that she’s succeeded in capturing the attention of Lord Peter. Others—such as his mother the duchess and Peter’s brother the marquis—are not as delighted by the situation as Polly is. Everyone seems to believe Peter’s intentions are unserious, and some are willing to sabotage. But Polly is nothing if not determined. The only question left to be answered is whether her faith is well-placed . . . This historical novel, previously published under the names Jennie Tremaine and Marion Chesney, comes from the author known for her popular Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin series and praised as “a romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure”(Booklist).
