Borrowed Imagination: The British Romantic Poets And Their Arabic-Islamic Sources

Borrowed Imagination: The British Romantic Poets and Their Arabic-Islamic Sources deals with the influence of specific Arabic materials on English Romantic poetry during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It reflects on philosophers and literary and cultural critics' neglect of the role played by Arabs and Muslims in helping the British Romantic poets develop their themes, characters, imagery, and narrative modes. It also highlights the ambiguous feeling of the poets themselves toward the East.
