Representing Difference in the Medieval and Modern Orientalist Romance
Author: Amy Burge
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137593563
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book, the first full-length cross-period comparison of medieval and modern literature, offers cutting edge research into the textual and cultural legacy of the Middle Ages: a significant and growing area of scholarship. At the juncture of literary, cultural and gender studies, and capitalizing on a renewed interest in popular western representations of the Islamic east, this book proffers innovative case studies on representations of cross-religious and cross-cultural romantic relationships in a selection of late medieval and twenty-first century Orientalist popular romances. Comparing the tropes, characterization and settings of these literary phenomena, and focusing on gender, religion, and ethnicity, the study exposes the historical roots of current romance representations of the east, advancing research in Orientalism, (neo)medievalism and medieval cultural studies. Fundamentally, Representing Difference invites a closer look at medieval and modern popular attitudes towards the east, as represented in romance, and the kinds of solutions proposed for its apparent problems.

Book Description
Life, love and laughter amongst the orchards. Two multi-generational feel-good stories set in the dramatically beautiful Adelaide Hills and featuring cherries, apples and pears, koalas and kangaroos. Add love and romance and what more could you ask? Cherry Season is Dan Faraday’s story. Serious by nature and seriously single, Dan’s not impressed when his sisters subscribe him to a dating service – it’s not like he needs help or anything – he just needs to find a seriously sensible woman. Enter Lucy Marino – US backpacker and Dan’s latest cherry picker – and who is everything Dan’s not looking for in a wife. Unfortunately for Dan that doesn’t stop the sparks from flying between them, and when spark turns to sizzle, watch out Dan! The Trouble with Choices. Dan’s three sisters, school teacher Sophie, and twins Hannah and Beth, are all about to discover that life doesn’t always go to plan, and that choices come with consequences. It could all turn to custard – if they didn’t have their sisters to turn to. From the Readers – “What a great read full of likeable characters and laugh -out-loud moments. I could not pick which character was my fave, they were all entertaining in their own way, even serious Hannah :)” – Talking Books “A lot of the subjects addressed are pretty serious but Morey's characters all have a great sense of humour so the story has it's share of light-hearted moments and amusement. I really enjoyed this story of family, of moving forward, of letting go and of realising that you are worth it and you deserve happiness. A beautiful story complete with weddings, babies and an unexpected litter of kittens. I would definitely recommend this book.” – Beauty and Lace “Cherry Season is a fun, fast paced modern romance. Wonderful characters, gorgeously portrayed setting and lovely story. My home town even gets a mention. Highly recommended read.” – Noelene
