This book explores the way in which British and American visitors
experienced Algeria and about their imaginary responses to the
country. It also attempts to trace the elaboration and evolution of
the perception of Algeria in the West with particular focus on the
impressions and representations of those Anglo-Americans who
experienced Algeria at first hand and wrote about it. The book
provides historical perspective from the 16th century to the turn
of the 19th century, but more specifically from 1785, which opened
the chapter of the young American Republic clashes with the Regency
of Algiers, to the last years of the Algerian War of Independence
in 1962. It provides for the first time a corpus of literary texts
that offer a basic anthology of Anglo-American writings on Algeria.
In that sense, some valuable documents that had fallen into
oblivion have been retrieved, throwing some illuminating light on
the common and often forgotten cultural connections between Algeria
and the Anglo-American world over four centuries.
