The Pre-Raphaelites and Orientalism' redefines the task of
interpreting the East in the late nineteenth century. It takes as a
starting point Edward Said's 'Orientalism' (1978) in order to
investigate the latent and manifest traces of the East in
Pre-Raphaelite literature and culture. As Eleonora Sasso
demonstrates, the Pre-Raphaelites and their associates appeared to
be the most eligible representatives of a profoundly conservative
manifestation of the Orient, of its mystic aura, criminal
underworld, and feminine sensuality, or to put it into Arabic
terms, of its aja'ib (marvels), mutalibun (treasure-hunters) and
hur al-ayn (femmes fatales). By combining together Western and
Oriental modes of art, this study fills a gap in Pre-Raphaelite and
Oriental studies.
