The present work examines the way in which the travels and journeys in Arabia and other Muslim lands of Richard Francis Burton, the nineteenthcentury explorer and writer have, since the influential work of Edward W. Said on Orientalism, been somewhat undervalued by contemporaries. It aims to offer a reevaluation of those works and their contribution to Victorian knowledge. It also offers a challenge to Saids account of Burton and, particularly in the second part of the book, looks at the negative ways in which Burton has been viewed more generally by postcolonial theorists since Saids influential work. A further aim of the book is to bring together the viewpoints on Burton of the biographers and postcolonial critics who appear to have previously worked largely in isolation from one another. It is the author's belief that such a union will lead to a mutually beneficial process of crossfertilisation that will reveal a more complicatedand also more accurateBurton for detailed future consideration and discussion.
