How did the Victorians perceive Muslims in the British Empire and
beyond? How were these perceptions propagated by historians and
scholars, poets, dramatists and fiction writers of the period? For
the first time, Shahin Kuli Khan Khattak brings to life Victorian
Britain's conceptions and misconceptions of the Muslim World using
a thorough investigation of varied cultural sources of the period.
She discovers the prevailing representation of Muslims and Islam in
the two major spheres of British influence - India and the Ottoman
Empire - was reinforced by reoccurring themes: through literature
and entertainment the public saw 'the Mahomedan' as the 'noble
savage', a perception reinforced through travel writing and fiction
of the 'exotic east' and the 'Arabian Nights'. "Islam and the
Victorians" will be an important contribution to understanding the
apprehensions and misapprehensions about Islam in the nineteenth
century, providing a fascinating historical backdrop to many of
today's concerns.
