Oriental Diction and Theme in English Verse, 1740-1840 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Oriental Diction and Theme in English Verse, 1740-1840 The writer's interest in Orientalism in English literature began at the University of Illinois in 1911, when Professor H. G. Paul, in a lecture on the Romantic poets, emphasized Byron's Oriental coloring and suggested that its study would make a good thesis. A little later this interest took form in a master's thesis on The Orientalism of Byron, which was accepted by the English Depart ment of the University of Kansas in 1914. This preliminary study opened up a field which seemed boundless, and which offered very attractive appeals to the student of foreign in uences on English literature.
