The term 'Islamophobia' is recent but the phenomenon is old. This survey of literature focusing on the modern period identifies negative ideas about Islam in novels and plays. Some works are iconic some more obscure. However, the book highlights writers who challenged stereotypes and tended to see Muslims as equally capable of virtue and vice with Christians and others. The book deals with the role of the imagination in depicting others and how this serves authors' agendas. The conclusion brings the book's thesis into dialogue with debate in the USA today between supporters of multiculturalism and its critics. Anyone interested in how stereotypes are formed, perpetuated and can be challenged will profit from this book. It is aimed at a non-specialist readership"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102755 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102754 650 0 $a Islam in literature. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85068431 650 0 $a Muslims in literature. $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94006717 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bennett, Clinton. $t Islam as imagined in eighteenth and nineteenth century English literature $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003152095 $w (DLC) 2022027658 830 0 $a Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ; $0 https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011177030 $v 151. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503011723.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF73D158E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
