Browning Upon Arabia charts Robert Browning's early and enduring
engagement with the East, particularly the Arab East. This book
highlights the complexities of Browning's poetry, revealing
Browning's resistance to triumphalist and imperialist forms of
Orientalism generated by many nineteenth-century British and
European literary and scholarly portrayals of the East. Hedi A.
Jaouad argues that Browning extensively researched the literature,
history, philosophy, and culture of the East to produce poetry that
is sensitive to its Eastern resources and devoted to confirming the
interrelation of Northern and Eastern knowledge in pursuit of a new
form of transcendental humanism.
