Islam and the Victorians: Nineteenth Century Perceptions of Muslim Practices and Beliefs
This book 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.
