Harems Of The Mind: Passages Of Western Art And Literature
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fascinating And Mysterious, The Idea Of The Harem Long Captured The Imagination Of The West. The Muslim Practice Of Concealing The Women Of The Household From The Eyes Of Alien Men Tempted Europeans To Extravagant Projections Of Their Own Wishes And Fears. This Intriguing Book Examines The Art That Resulted. Drawing On A Wide Range Of Evidence From The Late Seventeenth Century To The Early Twentieth Centuryincluding Travel Writing, Literature, Painting, And Even Operaruth Bernard Yeazell Demonstrates The Surprising Variety Of Expressions Inspired By The Harem Of The Western Imagination.The Book Provides Both A Rich Account Of Changing Perceptions Of The Harem And A Demonstration Of The Tenacious Persistence Of Myth And Stereotype. Yeazell Shows That Europes Hunger For Facts About The Harem Combined Repeatedly With The Impulse To Fantasize. Masculine Erotic Fantasies Of The Harem Were Reflected In The Paintings Of Ingres And Delacroix, The Writings Of De Sade, Byron, And Loti, And The Work Of Anonymous Pornographers. Alternate Representations Portrayed The Harem As A Prison Or A Locus Of Freedom, A Place Of Murderous Rivalry Or A Home Of Loving Sisterhood, A Chamber Of Erotic License Or A Nightmarish Snare Of Frustration And Ennui. And Montesquieu, Mozart, And Charlotte Bront Among Others Explored In Their Art The Opposition Of The Imaginary Pleasures Of The Harem To The Freely Chosen Union Of A Loving Couple. In A Nuanced Reading Of Ingress Bain Turc Andother Works, Yeazell Concludes That For Some The Appeal Of The Harem Lay In The Fantasy Of Eluding Time And Death.
