Charles D. Sabatos uses Andre Gingrich's concept of "frontier Orientalism" to foreground his analysis of Central European Orientalism, designating the nations of the former Habsburg Empire as the occident and the Turks as the oriental "Other." This study applies theoretical approaches to literary history--as developed by scholars such as Stephen Greenblatt and Linda Hutcheon--to a range of texts from the early modern period, the nineteenth-century national revivals, interwar independence, and the communist and postsocialist regimes. By following these depictions across literatures and over an extensive historical period, this study illustrates how the Turkish stereotype evolved from a menace to a more abstract yet still powerful metaphor of resistance, and finally to a mythical figure that evoked humor as often as fear. -- Publisher website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-178) and index. 505 0 $a Menacing Turks: self-fashioning in captivity and travel narratives -- Mythical Turks: epic and folk poetry in the national revivals -- Metaphorical Turks: truth and fantasy in historical fiction -- Modernist Turks: The Orient in interwar and socialist Czechoslovakia -- Metafictional Turks: Postcolonial, postmodern, and postsocialist identity. 650 0 $a Turks in literature. 650 0 $a Central European literature $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Turks in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01159607 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Sabatos, Charles D. $t Frontier Orientalism and the Turkish Image in Central European Literature $d Lanham : Lexington Books, [2020] $z 9781793614889 $w (OCoLC)1134076102 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024404.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15C06466177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
