    The birth of the (non) European author

    Get PDF
    The Birth of the (Non)European Author draws attention to the power relations between subaltern authors and the field of publishing, especially focusing on the ownership of author rights and the representation of authorship. By particularly concentrating on the creation and marketing of "indigenous authorship" and "marginality" as goods on the global book market, the relationship between "subaltern/marginalised" authors and agents of the book market, such as editors and publishers is highlighted as unbalanced and precarious. This book traces the genre testimonial narration, from slave narratives to African-American child soldier memoirs, analysing the relationship of Western publishing modes and what is being sold as “African authorship”. Combining explorations of theories of representation and authorship with close readings of testimonial narrations and the analysis of the relationship between professional writer and witness, this book contributes to the field of postcolonial theory, globalization studies and book history. Anna-Katharina Krüger studied Comparative Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and Book History at the Oxford Brookes University. As a scholar of the DFG research training group "Globalization and Literature - Representations, Transformations, Interventions" she finished and defended her dissertation in 2017. Her research focus lies on postcolonial literature, authorship and representation theory as well as testimonial narration

    The oriental elements in English poetry (1784-1859)

    Get PDF
    The influence of the Orient on English poets of the Romantic Revival, though perhaps not so deep and important, as on their German and French contemporaries, has been found significant enough to merit a study. Miss M.P. Conant of Columbia University, in her book The Oriental Tale in En 'land in the 18th Century, (1908) . catalogued a vast number of Oriental and pseudo-Oriental tales, inspired mostly by the introduction from France of the Arabian Nights & Oriental tales. But her book treats only the eighteenth century writers of prose tales - the only verse -tale of consequence. coning under her survey being Landor's Gebir. The discovery of the treasures of Oriental literature by Sir William Jones and other Oriental scholars in the latter part of the 18th century and the enthusiasm with which Oriental literature began to be studied both in England and on the continent, were, however, matters of greater and more far-reaching importance than the introduction of the ,Arabian rights. Books of travel, history and scholarship about the Orient rapidly multiplied, from which the latter writers like Coleridge, Southey, Moore, Shelley, and others, extracted material for poetry. In our first chapter we have given a short sketch of Oriental scholarship.and travel, enumerating some of the more important books that supplied these poets with their bookish notions of the Orient, and in the subsequent chapters, we have treated one by one all those poets who wrote on Oriental themes; FitzGerald's RubaiyĂĄt being the culmination and the finest product of that Orientalism, whose inaugurators were the late eighteenth century Oriental scholars, and some of the poets of the Romantic Revival.The concluding chapter contains some general remarks on the tendencies and results of the period
